Disorders of Gut Microbiota and Fecal-serum Metabolic Patterns Are Associated with Pulmonary Tuberculosis and Pulmonary Tuberculosis Comorbid Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Importance: This study expands the understanding of the complex links between gut microbiota, fecal metabolites, and serum metabolites in patients with PTB and PTB-DM through multi-omics techniques. It is helpful for us to understand the complex molecular mechanism of increased susceptibility to PTB infection in diabetic patients.
