Our IJTLD paper describes thesmoked drug use prevalence and impact on TB disease burden on presentation. PWSD have higher bacterial burden at diagnosis, check out our findings and implications for community health screening. 👇pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37231597/

Proud to share our work out now in nature nature.com/articles/s4158…! In an amazing collaboration w/ Liz Campbell & Maddie Delbeau Darst-Campbell Lab we identify the/a source of the fitness cost of rifampicin resistance (RifR) in Mtb and how some compensatory mutations rescue the cost!
