Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has a penetrance of its host population that would be the envy of most human pathogens. Approximately 1/3 of the human population is skin test positive for the infection and is thus thought to harbor the bacterium. Globally, 22 “high-burden” countries account for over 80% of the active tuberculosis cases in the world, highlighting the inequitable distribution of the disease. There is no effective vaccine against infection and current drug therapies are fraught with problems, predominantly due to the protracted nature of the treatment and the increasing occurrence of drug resistance. Here we focus on the biology of the host-pathogen interaction and discuss new and evolving strategies for intervention.
