top news, Scientists have discovered how to potentially
eliminate the world's deadliest infectious disease,
tuberculosis. By turning off the genetic switch
to its respiratory system, researchers found
that mycobacterium tuberculosis cannot survive
without the prurabe system. When prurabe was
inhibited, the bacteria shut down and a drug
called diaryltheazole -48 became more effective
against it. Tuberculosis has seen a resurgence

in many regions. The research team aims to use
these findings to develop targeted therapies
that could make tuberculosis vanish, much like
