Evaluación de péptidos sintéticos derivados de proteínas presentes en Mycobacterium tuberculosis como posibles biomarcadores para diagnóstico serológico de la tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is an infectious and contagious disease that, in 2022, caused approximately 1.3 million deaths, ranking as the tenth leading cause of death worldwide. Moreover, it stands among the most lethal infectious diseases, second only to SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). The disease has two phases, latent...

Description
Summary:	Tuberculosis is an infectious and contagious disease that, in 2022, caused approximately 1.3 million deaths, ranking as the tenth leading cause of death worldwide. Moreover, it stands among the most lethal infectious diseases, second only to SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). The disease has two phases, latent and active, with the latent phase being the primary source of active cases. For this reason, this study focused on evaluating peptides derived from proteins present in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis envelope, aiming to differentiate between healthy populations and those with latent tuberculosis.
