Abstract:

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection, and the treatment of TB are mainly by chemical drugs. The researches on pharmacogenomics of anti-TB drugs focus on the application of pharmacogenomics in anti-TB treatment. Intensive researches in the field of genomics of anti-TB drugs will be helpful for paving the way of individual anti-TB treatment. This literature review study mainly introduced the current progress in the field of anti-TB pharmacogenomics research, including research methods for human genomics, pharmacogenomics and anti-TB drug metabolism, pharmacogenomics and anti-TB drug-induced liver damage, as well as pharmacogenomics and MTB resistance; the challenges of researches on anti-TB drug genomics were also explored.
