Mycobacterium tuberculosis Transmission in High-Incidence Settings—New Paradigms and Insights

MCMikaela ColemanLMLeonardo MartínezGTGrant Theron

Key Points

  • This research aims to enhance our understanding of tuberculosis transmission in high-incidence areas by integrating novel methodologies.
  • Analyzed challenges in current diagnostic tools for tuberculosis transmission.
  • Proposed the application of insights and methods from SARS-CoV-2 to tuberculosis research.
  • Encouraged the integration of advanced study designs to better explore tuberculosis dynamics.
  • Identified critical gaps in tuberculosis transmission research.
  • Recommended cross-disciplinary methodologies to improve current understanding.
  • Emphasized the urgency of addressing tuberculosis transmission to combat the ongoing global pandemic.

Abstract

transmission in high-burden settings has been hampered by sub-optimal diagnostic tools, limited basic science exploration and inadequate study designs. We propose that, as a tuberculosis field, we must learn from and capitalize on the novel insights and methods that have been developed to investigate SARS-CoV-2 transmission to limit ongoing tuberculosis transmission, which sustains the global pandemic.
