As a man-made disease, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is mainly caused by improper treatment programs and poor patient supervision, most of which could be prevented. According to the daily treatment and inspection records of tuberculosis (...
Infra-species taxonomy is a prerequisite to compare features such as virulence in different pathogen lineages. Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex taxonomy has rapidly evolved in the last 20 years through intensive clinical isolation, advances in sequ...
A major hurdle facing tuberculosis (TB) investigators who want to utilize a rapidly growing body of data from both systems biology approaches and omics technologies is the lack of a standard vocabulary for data annotation and reporting. Lacking a mea...

BACKGROUNDOptimal TB care and control requires improved health education and effective patient counselling. Effective counselling is a lengthy process that requires addressing all questions related to TB transmission, risk, the di...
Mycobacteria, including (MTB) and non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM), are important causes of infectious disease and cause significant mortality and morbidity globally. Fast detection is extremely important to reduce transmission and mortality asso...
This study utilized multiomics combined with a comprehensive machine learning-based predictive modeling approach to identify, validate, and prioritize circulating immunometabolic biomarkers in distinguishing tuberculosis (TB) from nontuberculous myco...
