Twenty-four hour face mask sampling in pulmonary tuberculosis reveals three distinct patterns of bacterial aerosol production dissociated from conventional markers of transmission risk.

This study uses a mask aerosol sampling system to identify three distinct patterns of Mycobacterium tuberculosis aerosol production in pulmonary TB patients, which are not correlated with traditional transmission risk markers.

A modular transcriptional signature identifies phenotypic heterogeneity of human tuberculosis infection

The paper identifies a modular transcriptional signature for active tuberculosis that distinguishes it from latent infection and other diseases, showing dynamic heterogeneity in tuberculosis contacts.
