BCG vaccination reduces the rate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis dissemination between murine lungs

2026-03-11

Abstract excerpt

The BCG vaccine remains the only licensed vaccine against tuberculosis ( TB ), yet the mechanisms behind BCG-induced protection remain poorly understood. Plumlee et al. (PLOS Pathogens 2023) infected over 1,000 mice, half of which were vaccinated with BCG, with an ultra-low dose ( ULD ) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ); the authors found that BCG vaccination resulted in fewer infected mice, lower CFU lung...
