AB  - Tuberculosis  remains  an  important  worldwide  infection,  with  more  than  one  third  of  the  overall  population  harboring  the  bacterium.  It  is  the  second  leading  cause  of  death  among  infectious  diseases  and  a  major  cause  of  death  among  those  with  human  immunodeficiency  disease  (HIV),  especially  in  countries  with  limited  resources.1,2  Despite  therapeutic  progress  over  the  past  20  years,  drug  resistance  and  HIV  coinfection  continue  to  challenge  the  global  control  of  tuberculosis.2
