Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the major public health concerns worldwide. Since the development of precision medicine, the filed regarding TB control and prevention has been brought into the era of precision medicine. Although great progress has been achieved in the accurate diagnosis, treatment and management of TB patients, we have to face several challenges. We should seize the opportunity, and develop and improve novel measures in TB prevention on the basis of precision medicine. The accurate diagnosis criteria, treatment regimen and management of TB patients should be carried out according to the standard of precision medicine. We aim to improve the treatment of TB patients and prevent the transmission of TB in the community, thereby contributing to the achievement of the End TB Strategy by 2035.
