Description
Krishna Kurthkoti and co-authors open a research topic on tuberculosis spread in a 2026 editorial. TB, caused by a slow-growing bacterium, stays a top global killer. It spreads mainly through droplets in the air. The editorial frames spread as a battle between host and germ.
Current work probes spread in low- and high-burden lands, silent cases, migrant groups, and superspreaders. Gene sequencing has sharpened tracking far past older typing methods. Cost and scarce resources still limit use where need is high. The pieces in the topic cover surveillance, spread dynamics, and new therapeutics. The editors urge wider uptake of the best tools.
