Abstract
Tuberculosis is a communicable disease spread from one person to another; it is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It’s a very dangerous bacterial infection liable for severe increase in death cases. It’s a chronic granulomatous infectious disease. Infection happens via aerosol and inhalation of some droplets containing mycobacteria bacilli. The disease also affects animals like cattle; this is often referred to as bovine tuberculosis, which can sometimes be communicated to man. The pulmonary tuberculosis is the most important type of tuberculosis which affects man.
India is the highest Tuberculosis burden country within the world in terms of absolute number of incident cases that occur every year. It accounts for fourth part of the estimated global incident Tuberculosis cases in 2007.
Keywords: Tuberculosis (TB), mycobacterium tuberculosis, pulmonary infectious disease, drug- resistance, decontamination method, decontamination method for TB.
