Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious global health concern, and its impact has been worsened by the increased burden on global healthcare systems imposed by COVID-19. The disease is so successful in part due to the capacity of the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis to adapt and respond to a broad range of stresses from a diverse array of environmental and drug conditions. Understanding the mechanisms by which Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) can tolerate, persist, and adapt to these stresses could help improve TB intervention strategies.
The aim of this Special Issue is to publish original research papers, meta-analyses, reviews, or perspective pieces that explore the effects of different environmental or drug-associated stresses on modulating disease or treatment outcomes in TB. Clinical research focused on epidemiological trends or patient outcomes associated with exposure to these stresses, as well as basic research that studies the phenotypic and molecular mechanisms of stress response and adaptation, are most welcome.
