With the increasing threat of the emergence of drug-resistant TB, there is intense research toward better and more efficacious vaccines against TB. Indeed, TB vaccine research has blossomed in recent years: demonstration of sterilizing immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) challenge in non-human primates, the potential benefit of BCG revaccination in humans, and a phase IIb vaccine with ~50% efficacy against developing active disease. Consequently, several vaccines are set to begin phase 3 trials in 2024, and new candidates have entered phase 1 including mRNA-based TB vaccines. However, despite the enthusiasm, there are no known correlates of protection against TB, the antigens that induce protective immunity are incompletely defined, and the overreliance on Th1 cytokine production as an “absolute” measure of protection is increasingly debatable. In this perspective, I highlight the recent milestones in TB Vaccine research and the remaining challenges and propose suggestions for future considerations.","PeriodicalId":101354,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in tuberculosis","volume":" 680","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141823528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This viewpoint stems from the dichotomous diagnostic approach, based on the bacillary load estimated in latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI), thanks to the isoniazid chemoprophylaxis strategy, as well as the importance of imaging to differentiate between LTBI and TB. It integrates the “TB spectrum” elucidated through positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan (PET-CT) to highlight the dynamic nature of TB lesions. Additionally, it emphasizes the relevance of animal models that support this perspective, including the drainage of bacilli through foamy macrophages, which aids in understanding LTBI and its chemoprophylaxis, and the significance of lung anatomy in TB induction. Especially the role of interlobular septa and the encapsulation process and its role in lung lobe predilection impact disease progression. Moreover, it acknowledges the gender bias in TB, as its incidence is significantly higher in men across various socioeconomic circumstances, suggesting an unidentified biological mechanism. For a comprehensive approach, the impact of stress and cortisol levels is suggested as a new parameter to be considered, given their association with poverty, and social inequity, and their tendency to be higher in men. All this information has to be contemplated when designing an accurate point-of-care test. The test should encompass the complexity of TB and necessarily integrate both bacillary and host response parameters.
