Abstract:

Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis by invading human organs. Spinal tuberculosis accounts for 50% of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis and has become a serious orthopedic disease that threatens human health. The pathogenesis of spinal tuberculosis has not yet been fully understood, and the available anti-tuberculosis drugs and treatment options are limited. As a powerful tool for studying the pathogenesis of diseases and therapeutic drugs, animal models have received considerable attention. New Zealand rabbits are widely used as animal models in the experimental study of spinal tuberculosis because of their similar anatomical structure of lumbar vertebrae to humans, the manifestation of bone tuberculosis can reproduce the pathological manifestations of human tuberculosis, and the convenient operation of constructing spinal tuberculosis models. This article reviewed the construction method of spinal tuberculosis rabbit models and the application value in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis, the development of new anti-tuberculosis drugs and local drug loading research, to provide reference for the establishment and application of rabbit models in basic research related to spinal tuberculosis.
