M. tuberculosiscan cause disease in almost any part of the body. Infection withM. tuberculosiscan evolve from containment in the host, in which the bacteria are isolated within granulomas (latent TB infection),
Tuberculosis (TB) is a highly contagious disease that mostly affects the lungs and is caused by a bacterial pathogen,Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The associated mortality rate of TB is much higher compared to any other disease and the situation is more worrisome by the rapid emergence of drug resis...
Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is the most common cause of death in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Intra-dermal Bacille Calmette–Guérin (BCG) delivery is the only licensed vaccine against tuberculosis; however, it offers little protection from pulmo...
Tuberculosis (TB) is a major cause of death worldwide, with 1.5 million deaths in 2020. While TB incidence and mortality had previously been on a downwards trend, in 2020, TB mortality actually rose for the first time in a decade, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Undernutrition is ...

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a majorpublic healthproblem, as it causes more deaths than any other pathogen(Anonymous, 2018). It is also the leading cause of death among people infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)(Bell and Noursadeghi, 2017). In Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast ...
testing may be used to detect several different types of acid-fast bacilli, but it is most commonly used to identify an active tuberculosis infection caused by the most medically important AFB,Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Are called acid-fast bacilli because they are rod-shaped bacteria (bacilli) th...
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, TB surpassed human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) as the most common infectious agent-related cause of mortality1. It continues to be a significant worldwide health concern, although it is largely curable with treatment that is ...
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), and remains a leading public health problem. Previous studies have identified host genetic factors that contribute to Mtb infection outcomes. However, much of the heri
