Abstract:
Tuberculosis (TB) being the leading infectious killer in the domain wherein globally, almost 20% of all TB strains are resistant to at least 1 major TB drug and there's a growing incidence of multi-drug resistance tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Looking at the current scenario and challenges the existing strategies fall back in terms of treatment of TB. So, to overcome this new, stronger, improved TB drug pipeline and a new standard for the development of novel anti-TB drugs are required in order to make more drug-resistant and efficient drug which also lower the duration period of the treatment of the TB. This review article aims to highlight the recent developments in the anti-tuberculosis agents, those are currently in the clinical development stage.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
