Concept introduction:
Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes tuberculosis (TB) in humans and in animals by Mycobacterium bovis; it shows the presence of granulomas in the lungs. Tuberculosis is an airborne microbe that affects the inflammatory cells such as lymphocytes and macrophages that show clear boundaries with caseated consistency. There are two classes of anti-tubercular drugs that are available, which are first-line drugs or primary and second-line drugs or secondary. Though vaccine BCG is available, it does not give full protection but reduces the chance of 60% of TB infection.
