[Intestinal microbe Prevotella in pulmonary tuberculosis research]

Abstract

Tuberculosis is a major global infectious disease that seriously endangers human health. Studies have shown that there will be an imbalance of intestinal microecology after infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. And vise versa the imbalance of intestinal flora will also increase the susceptibility to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Prevotella is a newly discovered intestinal microorganism closely related to inflammatory diseases, and its abundance changes significantly in patients with tuberculosis. Therefore, this paper reviews the correlation between intestinal microorganism Prevotella and pulmonary tuberculosis, in order to provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis.
