Initiatives demonstrated evidence of empowering communities to proactively undertake screening and/or volunteer for TB initiatives. Three also measured positive improvements in knowledge of disease transmission, symptoms, and curability.ConclusionThese data highlight several locally successful strategies for increasing TB awareness and knowledge, and encouraging TB care seeking, as well as mobilizing youth to volunteer as community TB KAP advocates. Next steps to understanding the true impact of such activation TB initiatives should include the development of a global framework to provide guidance on best practices for impact assessment, particularly at the healthcare-seeking stage. This could support healthcare workers in their provision of equitable access to quality care and implementation of TB initiatives.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/ftubr.2025.1719707 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/ftubr.2025.1719707 <![CDATA[Proteomic insights into mycobacterial responses to elevated riboflavin reveal a role for flavin-sequestering proteins in flavin homeostasis]]> 2025-12-17T00:00:00Z Original Research Nurudeen OketadeKaren M.
