Gut Microbiome of Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients
This study investigates alterations in the gut microbiome of pulmonary TB patients using 16S rRNA gene and whole-genome shotgun sequencing. The study included patients with active TB and their healthy household contacts as controls (HCs).Significant alterations in microbial taxonomic and functional capacity were observed in patients with active TB compared to the HCs, with further investigations conducted during treatment to analyze variations in the gut microbiome.
