Despite being preventable and curable since the middle of the
twentieth century, tuberculosis (TB) has long persisted as the
world's deadliest infectious disease, with the communities most
devastated by TB among the poorest and most vulnerable in the
world. Only about half of people with TB receive successful
treatment each year. As the global threat of antimicrobial
resistance continues to escalate, so do cases of drug-resistant TB,
or TB that is resistant to various antibiotics that constitute
standard treatment regimens. In response, the National Academies of
Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Forum on Microbial Threats
held a two-part virtual workshop on July 22 and September 14-16,
2021 titled Innovations for Tackling Tuberculosis in the Time of
COVID-19. The aims of the workshop were to evaluate the current
status of TB elimination, assess the effects of the COVID-19
pandemic on the global fight against TB, and examine technical and
strategic innovations that could be leveraged to meet the United
Nations High-Level Meeting on Tuberculosis targets in 2022 and The
World Health Organization's END TB Strategy targets by 2030. This
publication summarizes the presentations and discussions of the
workshop. Table of Contents Front Matter 1 Introduction 2 Current
