Abstract
Tuberculosis remains a worldwide threat despite the availability of the BCG vaccine and antibiotic treatment. It is estimated that its etiologic agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis , infects almost a third of the human population and kills two million people every year ([27][1]). The recent humanKeywords
