Tuberculosis: From Molecular Mechanisms to Global Health Challenges

This comprehensive scientific document explores tuberculosis (TB) from its molecular biology to its impact on global public health. It provides an in-depth analysis of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, its evolution, pathogenesis, virulence factors, and immune interactions. The content covers essential aspects of epidemiology, diagnostic techniques (including molecular, immunological, and microbiological methods), and drug resistance mechanisms associated with multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) TB strains.

It also discusses recent advances in genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, as well as emerging strategies in vaccine development, biosafety practices, and therapeutic innovations. With a strong focus on disease control, host genetics, and molecular epidemiology, this resource serves as a detailed reference for researchers, clinicians, and students in infectious disease biology and medical microbiology.
