Summary

Infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis remains a major

public health problem. The epidemic of tuberculosis and

multidrug resistant tuberculosis reflects the failure of public

health and social program’s towards prompt treatment

of infected cases and screening of high-risk population.

Culture, isolation and sensitivity of Mycobacterium

tuberculosis from patient groups using standard culture

methods remain the gold standard for Mycobacterium

tuberculosis detection and effective and swift treatment

worldwide.
