Background: Mixed infection with multiple strains of the same pathogen in a single host can present clinical and analytical challenges. Whole genome sequence (WGS) data can identify signals of multiple strains in samples, though the precision of previous methods can be improved. Here, we present MixInfect2, a new tool to accurately detect mixed samples from Mycobacterium tuberculosis short-read WGS data.

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by , remains a global health challenge, despite being preventable and curable. The global goal to end TB by 2030, with India targeting a 90% reduction in TB incidence by 2025, demands comprehensive interventions in prevention, early detection, treatment, and capacity building. This study analyzes the 2023 Global TB Reports, published articles, guidelines, and data to explore India's current TB landscape.

Introduction: Undetectable equals untransmittable (U=U) is an education campaign promoting science that people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who maintain an undetectable viral load cannot transmit HIV to others. Researchers theorize that undetectable equals untransmittable messaging will decrease HIV stigma by reducing fears of HIV transmission and providing evidence to dismantle discriminatory policies. However, little is known about how people with HIV in South Africa interpret the results of their viral load tests, undetectable equals untransmittable messaging, or its impact on stigma.

The underlying mechanisms and diagnostic biomarkers for the progress of COVID-19 in HIV patients have not been fully elucidated. In this study, the aim is to analyze the metabolomic profiles of HIV/AIDS patients co-infected with SARS-CoV-2 and to identify biomarkers indicative of co-infection. In this study, we conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of peripheral blood samples collected from 30 HIV/AIDS patients co-infected with SARS-CoV-2 (pc group) and 30 patients without SARS-CoV-2 (nc group).

Heterogeneity during (Mtb) infection greatly impacts disease outcome and complicates treatment. This heterogeneity encompasses many facets, spanning local differences in the host immune response to Mtb and the environment experienced by the bacterium, to nonuniformity in Mtb replication state. All of these facets are interlinked and each can affect Mtb susceptibility to antibiotic treatment.
