Abstract:
This paper addresses the World Tuberculosis (TB) Day 2025 theme, "Yes! We can end TB! Commit, Invest, Deliver". Through comprehensive analysis of China's TB epidemic landscape and associated challenges, we align with the "National TB Prevention and Control Plan (2024-2030)" which emphasizes that building Zero-TB communities through the integration of "active case finding" and "TB preventive treatment (TPT)" represents a viable pathway toward ending the TB epidemic. Active case finding serves as a critical intervention for early detection and transmission reduction, while TPT constitutes an essential strategy for decreasing latent TB infection incidence. By facilitating the rapid expansion of Zero-TB communities through governmental commitment, strategic resource allocation, and coordinated implementation, we anticipate achieving the ultimate goal of TB epidemic elimination.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
