Thanks to all who joined us at The Union World Conference on Lung Health. The BD team was happy to be among the 3,781 attendees from across the globe in Paris, France, 15-18th November, 2023.
Through seminars, workshops and discussions with other congress attendees at our booth, we shared experiences and learned more about the latest in tuberculosis (TB). We were also happy to discuss the BD TB diagnostics portfolio, including solutions for detecting Mycobacterium TB (MTB) and potential resistance, such as the BD MAX™ System and BD BACTEC™ MGIT™ 320/960 for automated rapid detection of Mycobacteria.
Some of the key topics during the event included:
- Increasing access to new treatment regimens, like BPal (Bedaquiline, Pretomanid and Linezolid)
- New diagnostic tools for TB drug susceptibility testing
- Latest treatment research on multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB)
- Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and Whole Genome Screening (WGS) technologies for TB

To add to the discussion on TB treatment, our team was able to share the news around the new BD Bedaquiline Standardised Antimicrobial Reagent. We hope to help reduce the number of MDR-TB cases by enabling more accurate treatment with the introduction of this new treatment solution.
