'Perhaps surprisingly, the age of reproduction has gone down ? the mean age of male reproduction means that most conceive no children after the age of 35,' said Prof Jones. 'Fewer older fathers means that if anything, mutation is going down.'»

Similar in creation to multidrug-resi stant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) but more extreme in its manifestation, it arises when common tuberculosis goes untreated or standard TB drugs are misused. James? photographs represent these varying strains. Learn more about TB, MDR-TB and XDR-TB, and learn how you can take action to stop this deadly disease.
