group of closely related bacterial species termed Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex causes tuberculosis. Humans

modalities for diagnosis and treatment of TB, unfortunately, millions of people are still suffering and dying from this
disease. The review focus on various aspects of antituberculosis therapy and related therapeutic potential.
