Host-directed therapies may synergize with existing antibiotics to help overcome current therapeutic limitations in tuberculosis.
Furthermore, the potential for HDTs to synergize with existing antibiotics underscores their relevance in overcoming current therapeutic limitations.
Compared with conventional antibiotics, host-directed therapies can enhance therapeutic outcomes by boosting host defense mechanisms, reducing treatment duration and dosage, and minimizing resistance risk.
Unlike conventional antibiotics, HDTs can enhance therapeutic outcomes by boosting host defense mechanisms, reducing treatment duration and dosage, and minimizing the risk of resistance development.
Several host-directed therapies have shown significant efficacy against multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains while mitigating excessive inflammation and lowering relapse rates.
Notably, several HDTs have shown significant efficacy against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Mtb strains, while also mitigating excessive inflammation and lowering relapse rates-achievements that remain elusive with antibiotic regimens alone.
The review frames macrophage polarization, metabolic modulation, autophagy promotion, and cell death regulation as key host-directed therapy axes for tuberculosis treatment.
By integrating insights into macrophage polarization, metabolic modulation, autophagy promotion, and cell death regulation, HDTs offer innovative and multifaceted approaches to TB treatment.
