Increase in confirmed cases of Legionnaires’ disease in Gaston County, North Carolina, with 17 confirmed infections since mid-2024, up from an annual average of three in previous years. Environmental source not yet identified. http://spr.ly/63329NFEUf

"Then we analysed what the biofilm was made of and found that this pathogen was producing bigger biofilms by including the degraded plastic in this … matrix … P aeruginosa was using the plastic as cement to build a stronger bacterial community." theconversation.com/we-found-a-g...

I subscribe to the @newyorker.com, I was part of ACT UP, I knew Larry Kramer well and know Tony Fauci too. Daniel Immerwahr's piece on RFKJr, features this and other passages that need a reponse. 1/

#PandemicAccord finally is adopted! A big step forward for humanity and #HealthForAll. Pathogens don’t respect borders — and humanity must stand united against future pandemics and outbreaks.

#Tuberculosis bacteria are evolving how they express, not just what they code. New study reveals Mtb evolves via regulatory mutations, altering virulence gene expression to enhance transmission and drug resistance, highlighting adaptive shifts beyond coding sequence variation. #MicroSky #Evolution

Yesterday we have a productive meeting with the Peruvian National #Tuberculosis program, with the aim to start a collaboration in TB in #pregnancy research. Unfortunately, is a topic with several evidence gaps in a very vulnerable population and is important to address them 🧵(1/3)

Finally I finished @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social "Everything is Tuberculosis". A must-read for everyone interested in #tuberculosis . Some comments (food for thought) 🧵(1/4)

With his new book 'Everything Is Tuberculosis,' celebrity author @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social is breathing new life into tuberculosis advocacy www.forbes.com/sites/madhuk...

Consolidated guidelines on #tuberculosis (@WHO 👉 Screening 👉 preventive treatment 👉 diagnostics 👉 patient support 👉 treatment of drug susceptible TB and 👉 DR-TB iris.who.int/bitstream/hand… @stoptb.bsky.social @tb-alert.bsky.social @tbfighters.org @tbproof.bsky.social @seimc.bsky.social

Really important contribution by a large number of TB survivors, advocates & researchers! Communities of people affected by TB are experts in their care pathways, but the TB field continues to fall short of meaningfully engaging communities in TB research journals.plos.org/globalpublic...

New publication lead by Amy Zheng, Lena Faust and Dr. Leo Martinez at @thelancetph.bsky.social examines the impact of the #COVID-19 pandemic on #tuberculosis (TB) notifications in prisons across Europe and the Americas 🧵(1/3)

La #TB es la pral. causa infecciosa de muerte en el mundo. La congelación de fondos podría empeorar el escenario La ironía, añadió @kgcastromd.bsky.social, “es que estas desinversiones terminan resultando en un mayor costo para recuperar y mitigar el daño causado” cnnespanol.cnn.com/2025/03/30/s...

Team #Immunosky & #TBSky, do look into / share this fantastic postdoc opportunity to investigate human T cell responses in TB with @mnoursad.bsky.social & team! Great place to work, and, as photo shows below, it's always sunny in London! 😎😉 #tuberculosis #vaccines #IDSky @uclmedsci.bsky.social

Yes, #Tuberculosis (TB) is curable! TB is treated with antibiotics taken daily for 4–6 months. ⚠️ Stopping treatment early can lead to drug-resistant TB. Funding cuts & rising drug resistance put the most vulnerable at risk. Sustained support is crucial to #EndTB 👉 bit.ly/4ilkK1h #WorldTBDay

For this #WorldTBDay finally I got my copy of @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social “Everthing is Tuberculosis” . I hope more and more people get in this fight against #tuberculosis 💪🏽

Today is #WorldTBDay. #Tuberculosis - or TB - is caused by bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis that mainly affects the lungs. Common symptoms include ❗️ Cough ❗️ Chest pains ❗️ Weight loss ❗️ Fever ❗️ Night sweats Learn more about TB 👉 bit.ly/3yYNwzx #EndTB

It's #WorldTBDay. To ensure quick diagnosis and early treatment, WHO recommends the use of rapid molecular #tuberculosis (TB) tests as the initial diagnostic test for all persons with signs and symptoms of TB. Learn more about TB 👉 bit.ly/3yYNwzx #EndTB

It’s World TB Day—time to clear up some myths! Dr. Cesar Ugarte-Gil shares crucial insights on why TB is still an urgent global health issue. 🔬🌍 utmb.us/dqq #WorldTBDay #TBfacts #UTMBSPPH

It's World TB Day today and one of my favourite work events of the year, jointly shared between LSHTM and UCL. This is Dr Eliud Wandwalo making a critical plea for Global Fund replenishment. Desperately needed to save lives.

It's #WorldTBDay. #Tuberculosis is caused by a type of bacteria that spread through the air when people with TB cough, sneeze or spit. It mainly affects the lungs, but can also impact other parts of the body. Seek medical attention if you have a: 🔸prolonged cough 🔸fever 🔸unexplained weight loss

Last year we released WHO Guidance on evidence generation (GEG) on new regimens for #TB treatment — a first-of-its-kind document that provides advise on how evidence should be generated to optimally inform WHO guideline development: bsky.app/profile/sgsc... www.who.int/publications...

NEW COMMENT! TB trials with purely microbiological primary endpoints give greater weight to outcomes that matter most, generalise better to non trial settings, are less biased if regimens differ in duration, and are often better powered #IDSky @catherineberry.bsky.social @sgschumacher.bsky.social

In the month of World TB Day (24th March) I want to share our commentary in @lancetrh-americ.bsky.social leaded by Dr. Garcia-Bereguiain where we discuss the increased number of TB cases in South America #tuberculosis #GlobalHealth www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

In a measles outbreak, children as young as 6 months can be vaccinated early and then vaccinated again per the regular schedule. This is an extra vaccine and does not count towards the two they should have. publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/what-to...

Our last commentary (student/faculty at @utmbspph.bsky.social and other global col.) about the urgency to have DST for new TB drugs to avoid “burning fast” them. BPaL and other short oral regimens are implemented fast (💪🏽), so we need a close drug resistance surveillance #tuberculosis #GlobalHealth

In light of the latest measles outbreak, we're hosting a special virtual live forum. Hear from a panel of experts as they provide an update on the outbreak, discuss transmission, symptoms, and prevention, and answer questions in a Q&A session. Register: go.uth.edu/TEPHI_MeaslesForum
