RESUMEN
Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. At present, the situation of tuberculosis control in China and even the world is severe. Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine is the only approved vaccine for tuberculosis, but its protective effect is limited. Hence, it is imperative to develop more effective tuberculosis vaccines. Currently, many new tuberculosis vaccine candidates are in clinical or preclinical trials. In this paper, to provide reference for the development of tuberculosis vaccines in China, the status of the research on vaccine candidates were reviewed and the progress in new tuberculosis vaccine strategies were summarized.
