New Study Challenges Prevailing Theories on Tuberculosis Bacteria Growth Introduction Tuberculosis (TB), a rod-shaped bacterium ranked by the World Health Organization as the world's deadliest infectious disease , has been revealed as the first single-celled organism ca pable of maintaining a constant growth rate throughout its entire life cycle. Groundbreaking Discovery Researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine share this groundbreaking discovery in the journal Nature Microbiology on November 15, reshaping long-held views of bacterial cell biology and shedding light on the pathogen's resilience against immune defenses and antibiotics. New Insights into TB Pathogen Behavior "The study of bacterial growth and division is one of the sim plest areas of research in microbiology, yet our findings show that the TB pathogen o perates under an entirely unique set of princi ples." ex plained Bree Aldridge, co-senior author and professor at Tufts University...
