Access to the diagnosis and treatment of #TB is rebounding following serious setbacks during the pandemic, but progress is still far short of meeting the WHO’s 2025 targets.
The number of people newly diagnosed with TB reached 7.5 million globally in 2022

Great to speak to @DrTedros about the 🇬🇧 focus on #AntimicrobialResistance yesterday.
We are playing a leading role in tackling some of the world’s greatest health threats like #AMR – for which we recently announced £39 million for research into new drugs to combat infections.

Transmission modes for NTMs have been a hot topic for a few years. Genetic relatedness between strains from patients has been often inferred as evidence of transmission. Here @MahaFarhat and colleagues suggest it's not quite as straightforward....
Excited to share our latest in @PNASNews : The clinically prevalent 'clusters' of M. abscessus have a slower evolutionary/clock rate. Take home: just because clinical isolates are close genetically doesn't mean there was transmission pnas.org/eprint/BYUWJBFQ84CD…

#Staphylococcus aureus, commonly found on human skin, can rapidly evolve in the #microbiome, especially in those with #eczema.
The microbe evolves into a variant with a mutation in a specific gene (capD), allowing it to grow faster on the skin.
