Abstract
The lungLungmicrobiotaMicrobiota serves as a barrier providing resistance to colonizationColonization by respiratory pathogens, while maturing and maintaining the respiratory immune system’sSystemimmune balance. Studies on changes occurring in lungLungmicrobial communitiesCommunity associated with tuberculosis (TB) continue to emerge. As anti-TBDruganti-TB treatment is a prolonged antibioticAntibiotics treatment that requires multiple drugs, it may bring not only long-term detrimental effects on the microbiomeMicrobiome, but these, in turn, may affect the treatment outcomeOutcome. The study of how the lung’sLungmicrobiotaMicrobiota interacts with M. tb infection could open the door for a potential role of probiotics in TB treatment and preventionPrevention.
