Introduction Tuberculosis TB is a dangerous disease caused by species found in Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex that includes M. tuberculosis Mtb . In the year 2012 an estimated million people developed TB and million died from the disease1 including 320 000 deaths among HIV-positive people . The number of TB deaths is unacceptably large given that most are preventable. Nearly 20 years after the WHO declaration of TB as a global public health emergency. So the
