Analysis of immunological resistance to primary <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> infection in humans

2019-02-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Despite recent advances in diagnosis and treatment, tuberculosis (TB) remains a major infectious disease killer in resource-poor settings. Strategies to prevent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection are urgently required. By characterising natural protective immunity to Mtb infection we aimed to identify correlates of protection to guide vaccine development and other immune based therapi...
