Search For More Effective Tuberculosis Drugs

Published on Saturday, 7 February 2009 14:00 from ScienceDaily

Scientists in India have created a compound that stops tuberculosis by hitting four of the bacterium's crucial metabolic pathways at the same time, weakening and ultimately destroying the pathogen. While this compound is not ready for use in humans, researchers have said it is a step toward a single drug that targets multiple pathways, which could save time and money over the current multi-drug treatment for TB.
