Summary
This study aimed to create a quicker method for testing tuberculosis (TB) drugs and vaccines in humans. Twenty healthy adults received a BCG injection under the skin, and researchers measured how the bacteria grew and how the immune system responded. The goal was to see if this approach can reliably show whether a TB drug or vaccine is working, potentially speeding up future trials.
