Peripheral inflammatory response in human tuberculosis treatment is predicted by a combination of pathogen sterilization and microbiome dysbiosis
2020-02-27
Abstract excerpt
Antibiotic therapy cures infection predominantly by killing the infecting pathogen, but for infections such as tuberculosis (TB), which are accompanied by chronic inflammation, the salutary effects of antibiotic therapy may reflect a combination of pathogen killing and microbiome alteration. This question has not been examined in humans due to the difficulty in dissociating the immunologic effects of antibiotic in...
