TL;DR: Serum antibody reactivity to recombinant purified MS and MPT51 was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays of samples from TB suspects and well-characterized control groups, and a positive anti-MPT51 antibody response was strongly and significantly associated with TB among U.S. HIV+ TB suspects.

New drugs to treat multidrug-resistant tuberculosis: the case for bedaquiline.
TL;DR: While bedaquiline is an exciting drug and marks a dramatic moment in the history of TB treatment, its ultimate place in the anti-TB drug armamentarium is unclear pending the Phase III trial and the development of other new drugs that are in the pipeline.
New drugs and regimens for treatment of TB.
Eric Leibert,William N. Rom +1 more
TL;DR: There is reason to hope that rifamycins paired with fluoroquinolones will lead to shorter treatment regimens for drug-susceptible TB, and new drugs are being developed that have the prospect to be highly active even against multidrug-resistant organisms.
Risk factors for and outcomes of detention of patients with TB in New York City: an update: 2002-2009.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on characteristics and outcomes of patients undergoing detention for completion of TB treatment due to non-adherence in New York City from 2002 through 2009, and find that patients undergoing court-ordered detention are younger, more likely to be minority race/ethnicity, have a history of substance abuse, tobacco use, homelessness, incarceration, HIV infection, and to be born in the United States.
