Abstract excerpt
Understanding the mechanisms of early clearance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) may illuminate new therapeutic strategies for tuberculosis (TB). We previously found genetic, epigenetic, and transcriptomic signatures associated with resistance (resister, RSTR) to tuberculin skin test (TST)/interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) conversion among highly exposed TB contacts. We hypothesized that integration of...
