Description
Technical field:
[0001] The invention relates to the field of genetic engineering and the field of new tuberculosis vaccines, in particular to a recombinant BCG vaccine. Background technique:
[0002] Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In recent years, with the increase of the floating population, the concurrent infection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and the emergence of multi-drug resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis , To increase the global tuberculosis epidemic situation, and present new challenges to global tuberculosis prevention and treatment.
