Insight into the Role of the Microbiome in Pulmonary tuberculosis in Kampala, Uganda (MTI-Plus)
REFNo: HS738ES

The overall purpose of this proposal is to determine the composition of the microbiome in pulmonary TB patients in Kampala Uganda, and its relationship with TB treatment response and immune response relative to household healthy contacts without TB and HIV-infection. In context of treatment naïve adult TB patients, we will (1) (a) Examine the relationship between sputum and gut microbiome diversity and disease. (b) Investigate the relationship between sputum and gut microbiome composition and treatment response in patients on first-line TB therapy, and whether dysbiosis resolves in patients who get cured from TB after successfully completing anti-TB therapy. (2). Investigate the relationship between sputum and gut microbiome composition and inflammatory cytokine production capacity.
