Tuberculosis (TB) remains a pressing global health concern, causing substantial mortality and morbidity despite existing drugs and vaccines. The escalating challenge of drug-resistant TB underscores the critical need for novel medications. This study focuses on the enzyme 3-hydroquinate dehydratase (DHQD) in the shikimate pathway of (Mtb), essential for Mtb growth.

The combination of isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF) is indicated for the treatment maintenance phase of tuberculosis (TB) in adults and children. In Brazil, there is no current reference listed drug for this indication in children. Farmanguinhos has undertaken the development of an age-appropriate dispersible tablet to be taken with water for all age groups from birth to adolescence.

Tuberculosis is a zoonotic chronic respiratory infectious disease caused by the complex. The outbreak and epidemic of tuberculosis can seriously threaten human and veterinary health. To investigate the effects of environmental factors on tuberculosis in domestic ruminants, we collected data regarding the prevalence of tuberculosis in cattle, buffaloes, sheep, and goats in China (1956-2024) from publicly published literature and available databases.

Drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a significant challenge in the control and treatment of tuberculosis, making efforts to combat the spread of this global health burden more difficult. To accelerate anti-tuberculosis drug discovery, repurposing clinically approved or investigational drugs for the treatment of tuberculosis by computational methods has become an attractive strategy. In this study, we developed a virtual screening workflow that combines multiple machine learning and deep learning models, and 11 576 compounds extracted from the DrugBank database were screened against Mtb.
