| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Tuberculosis (TB) is a re-emerging disease, which we have to control immediately and therefore the development of new therapies for TB is needed. To develop new therapies for TB it is important to understand the pathogenic mechanism of TB. I studied the induction of necrosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)-infected macrophages because inhibition of necrosis induction of Mtb-infected macrophages can prevent the spread of Mtb infection.
