Nice demonstration by @[email protected] et al that some, but not all, non tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) intracellular growth in macrophages is pH sensitive #TBSky #immunosky onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Agree re potentially practice changing. Will be interesting to see if/when its performance gets tested in identifying asymptomatic (but probably infectious) TB cases. Could have even bigger impact on transmission and lowering case numbers. #IDSky #TBSky

i should add, finding it was triggered by this very good commentary (with a good title) #TBSky #IDSky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I think i'd missed this. Generates many hypotheses (in my head anyway) on the biological pathways that may be underlying this increased risk of death for many years after TB diagnosis & treatmnent. #IDSky #TBSky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great progress on vaccines & host-directed therapies (HDT) in TB.

Of note, TB helps here - turnaround time not THAT fast (still 16 days from positive culture to WGS guided treatment recommendations), but it's a slow disease. Not easily applicable to all other infections #TBSky #IDSky #ESCMIDGlobal2026 (2/3)

And an excellent summary. It's all go in the world of TB treatment! #ESCMIDGlobal2026 #TBSky #IDSky

Nice vision by Nicholas Paton for TB treatment in the future. 8 week oral treatment followed by long-acting injectable that could be antimicrobial +/- host-directed. Definitely a post to come back to in 5-10 years' time! #ESCMIDGlobal2026 #IDSky #TBSky

Recent nice paper @[email protected] looked at this: radiolgical changes (not culture) in asymptomatic contacts predictive of risk of TB disease development. PET-CT best but CXR not bad and feasible. @[email protected] www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... #IDSky #TBSky #ESCMIDGlobal2026 (2/2)

Excellent talk from Hanif Esmail on asymptomatic TB. Around half of M tuberculosis culture positive patients have no symptoms & probably contributes to transmission. Who should we offer treatment to? #TBSky #IDSky #ESCMIDGlobal2026 (1/2)
