Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death due to an infectious disease in the world. There is no effective vaccine to prevent infection and its conventional antibiotic therapy is too long and causes diverse side effects. Therefore, more effective treatments that rapidly eliminate the pathogen are needed. Approaches directed to host biological processes are promising strategies to ac…

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is one of the most lethal diseases in the world, and BrazilIt is among the countries with the highest incidence. The adaptive immune response mediated by CD4+ Th1 T cells plays a rolecrucial in resistance to Mtb infection. The TAM receptors Axl and MerTK, whose expression is induced in response to infection byMtb, promote the ph…

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the diseases caused by a single infectious agent that kills most people in the world, being surpassed only by COVID-19. The only vaccine approved is not effective in the prevention of adult pulmonary TB, while its conventional antibiotic therapy is very long and generates several side effects. Thus, a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in host resp…
