TB remains the bacterial pathogen responsible for the greatest burden of disease, causing well over a million deaths every year. Control of TB has been set back markedly by the COVID-19 pandemic, and drug resistance is a growing global challenge. Methods of timely diagnosis and shorter treatment regimens remain key goals for clinical TB research, alongside the development of vaccines to prevent TB infection and progression to active disease.
