26 transcription factors and 66 corresponding target genes were screened out in the AnimalTFDB 3.0 database, and a transcription factor regulatory network was constructed.<h4>Results</h4>Three key transcription factors (TP53, KLF5 and GATA2) and one key gene (AKT1) were screened as new potential drug targets and diagnostic targets for tuberculosis by MCODE cluster analysis, and the key genes and key transcription factors were verified by RT-PCR. Here, TP53 is linked to tuberculosis.
