ABSTRACT

Tuberculosis (TB) could be a major reason behind death from a single infectious agent. One- third of the planet population is infected with mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Early and effective treatment is important to stop the emergence of drug resistance strains. Whilethere has been significant progress in the diagnosis and treatment of the infection in recent decades. Improvements are needed in both diagnostic tools and therapeutic regimens.
