Mechanisms of Immune Resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis
REFNo: HS3165ES

Aims: In this study, we will immuno-phenotype airway microbiome signatures as innate, Th1, Th2, Th17, or Treg-inducing using a chronic airway inflammation population. We will then determine the association between airway microbiome, M.tb-specific IFN-gamma responses, and M.tb burden based on GeneXpert status to underpin immune protective microbial signatures. Finally, we will validate identified immune-protective microbial signatures as a proxy for IFN-gamma reactivity and TB immune protection in a separate cohort of persistently QFT-negative individuals compared to household LTBI controls.
