This study examines immune cell differences in close contacts of TB patients based on QFT status, finding minimal differences among subgroups but clear immune changes in active TB patients.

This paper develops tiled amplicon sequencing panels for whole-genome sequencing of pathogenic bacteria without culturing, enabling drug resistance classification from clinical samples.
