Researchers examined the mechanisms involved in tuberculosis (TB) transmission to explain why tubercle bacilli of animal origin don't spread within human populations. Their work opens up new possibilities for understanding the functions and mechanisms involved in TB transmission in humans and could eventually lead to therapeutic solutions for preventing the spread of this infectious agent.
