Leptotrichia amnionii and the Female Reproductive Tract

چکیده
create a niche for M. tuberculosis (10). Our hypothesis could be refuted or corroborated in several ways, for example, by a case-control study of HIV-negative patients infected with tuberculosis. If this study refutes our hypothesis, the idea that sex hormones play a direct role in the immune response to M. tuberculosis would be supported. Such findings might also provide possibilities for drug development. However, if casecontrol studies support our hypothesis, attempts should be made to identify the pathogen.
