Researchers identify control switch protein that starves tuberculosis bacteria

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260623/Researchers-identify-control-switch-protein-that-starves-tuberculosis-bacteria.aspx A protein that acts as a 'control switch,' preventing Mycobacterium tuberculosis from accessing the energy sources it needs to survive, has been identified by researchers at the University of Surrey. The discovery points to a specific vulnerability in the bacterium that could be targeted by new tuberculosis (TB) treatments.
