Tuberculosis, the world’s oldest and deadliest pandemic, has been plaguing us for well over 4,000 years, with a relative of TB bacteria detected since the dinosaur age, and an ancestor having ...

“TB is an infectious disease that most often affects the lungs and is caused by a type of bacteria,” Bronaugh said. “It spreads through the air when infected people cough, speak, or sing.
