RESUMEN
Tuberculosis is a serious zoonotic disease causing approximately 10 million new cases worldwide every year.The emergence of various drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is currently an important challenge intuberculosispre-vention and control,and an urgent need exists to develop new anti-tuberculosis drugs to treat drug-resistant tuberculosis and shorten the treatment time.The discovery of drug targets is a bottleneck inthe development of new anti-tuberculosis drugs.At present,the widely reported drug targets for tuberculosis include primarily new targets related to the biosynthesis of Mycobac-terium tuberculosis components and immune metabolic pathways.In addition,host-directed therapiestargeting the host immune system have become a research hotspot in recent years.Adjuvant host-directed therapies can enhance the therapeutic effect of tuberculosis and shorten treatment times by affecting granuloma formation,autophagy,host immune metabolism and the intra-cellular killing mechanism,as well as regulating pulmonary inflammation.The discovery of these new targets provides new ide-as for the future development of safe and effective new anti-tuberculosis drugs.
