Abstract In the development of vaccines against tuberculosis (TB), a number of factors represent burdensome difficulties for the design and interpretation of randomized control trials (RCTs) of vaccine efficacy. Among them, the complexity of the transmission chain of TB allows th…

Tuberculosis (TB), an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ), kills 5,000 people per day globally. Rapid development and spread of various multi drug-resistant strains of Mtb emphasize that an effective vaccine is still the most cost-effectives and effici…

Background Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination against tuberculosis (TB) is widespread in high-TB-burden countries, however, BCG vaccination policies in low-burden countries vary. Considering the uncertainties surrounding BCG efficacy and the lower likelihood of TB exposure…

ABSTRACT Our goal is to develop a pediatric combination vaccine to protect the vulnerable infant population against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and tuberculosis (TB) infections. The vaccine consists of an auxotroph Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain that coexpresse…

Vaccines are an important tool for maintaining global health and preventing widespread disease. Many vaccines are liquid presentations that must be kept frozen until use, which are then thawed and administered via parenteral injection. While this approach has been successful, cha…
