Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in the developing world. Recent reports from all over the world estimate over 9.4 million new cases of TB with a global mortality close to 1.7 million. About 85% of the cases have been reported in Asia and Africa alone. India and China alone account for 50% of the total burden of the disease.
