Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) caused by various strains of mycobacteria is one of the major fatal infectious disease. According to the report from the World Health Organization (WHO), there were an estimated 9 million people developed TB in the world, and approximately 1.5 million people died from TB in 2013. In addition, the resurgence of the disease worldwide because of the increase in immunocompromised states caused by AIDS, chemotherapy treatment or immunosuppressive therapy.
