The characteristics of gut microbiome changes in tuberculosis patients and latent tuberculosis infection in Xinjiang

Key Points

• Diversity and composition of gut microbiota vary significantly in tuberculosis patients and those with latent tuberculosis, highlighting microbial shifts.
• Metabolic pathways associated with gut microbiota were analyzed, revealing potential links to tuberculosis states.
• The analysis focused on the Han population in Xinjiang, showing specific microbial species composition profiles in tuberculosis.
• These findings may provide a theoretical basis for targeted prevention strategies against tuberculosis in the region.
