49、 is one of the official languages. More people study English than any other language. In many countries, the textbooks in universities are in English.

In addition, almost half a million people who were infected with tuberculosis and with HIV also died. Those were listed as HIV deaths. About one-third of a
64、ll people are infected with tuberculosis. But the bodys natural defenses are usually strong enough to prevent an active case. Even so, the bacteria remain in the body. If the immune system weakens at any point, they begin to spread and then attack. The bacteria that cause TB usually settle in the lu
65、ngs. They spread through the air when the person coughs or even sings and talks. One of the most important things is to identify cases quickly. The patients need to be kept away from other people and begin treatment as soon as possible. Multidrug resistant tuberculosis, orMDR-TB, will not get better
66、 with antibiotics normally used for tuberculosis. So doctors must use stronger, “second line “ drugs when the first ones fall. Now, researchers say they have found a much faster way to identify drug-resistant TB. The studys lead author is Graham Hatfull at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvani
67、a. The scientists used viruses called bacteriophages to speed the process. These viruses attack bacteria. The researchers injected them with a gene that produces green light. They also injected some with first line antibiotics and others with second line drugs. Then they combined the bacteriophages
68、with TB bacteria. If the bacteria produces green light, it means they are drug-resistant. The researchers say a clinic worker could identify the green light with equipment easy to get in many clinics. Test results would not have to wait for the bacteria to grow in a lab far away. For now , the test
69、itself needs more testing. But Professor Hatfull is hopeful this will take months and not years.
