This book summarizes the progress in studies of tuberculosis
host-pathogen interactions from several perspectives: molecular
microbiology, immunology, animal models, clinical studies,
epidemiology, and drug discovery. Tuberculosis (TB) remains a
severe global public health problem. Complex interactions between
environmental, microbial and host factors lead to clinically
relevant infections. Studies on bacterial virulence, host-genetic,
and immunological factors contributing to the susceptibility to TB
provide an ever-growing foundation of knowledge that is critical to
finding new interventions. Studies of immune mechanisms against M.
tuberculosis infection have identified immunological markers
associated with specific phenotypes in the host, providing insight
into how they may be used to augment current treatment strategies.
Recent advances in diagnosis, therapeutics and vaccines, as well as
basic-research oriented studies have shed light on the development
of new directions for prevention, treatment and control of TB.
Improved understanding of the interplay between the bacterium and
host is a key component of reducing incidence worldwide.
