結(jié)核分枝桿菌是一種重要的病原細(xì)菌，能感染人和多種動物引起結(jié)核病，對人類健康和公共衛(wèi)生安全構(gòu)成了嚴(yán)重威脅。我國是結(jié)核病的重災(zāi)區(qū)，患者人數(shù)居世界第二位，每年死亡人數(shù)多達(dá)15萬。特別是，對于耐藥型結(jié)核目前幾乎無藥可治，亟待研發(fā)新型藥物和防控技術(shù)。為此，本團(tuán)隊主要通過構(gòu)建和解析該重要病原細(xì)菌的基因調(diào)控網(wǎng)絡(luò)，闡明其生長和耐藥調(diào)控機制，發(fā)現(xiàn)新功能基因和新藥靶，最終研發(fā)具有自主知識產(chǎn)權(quán)的診斷產(chǎn)品和新型疫苗。
