“…Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused mainly by bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) in majority of cases followed by other similar microbes such as Mycobacterium bovis (Liu et al, 2015;Chatterjee and Pramanik, 2015;Wobudeya et al, 2015). It is a disease that has rather a ubiquitous presence by affecting almost 1/3 of the world population in latent form (Castilla et al, 2009).…”

Em virtude das elevadas taxas de morbidade e mortalidade por TB em indivíduos HIV positivos, a detecção, o tratamento e a prevenção da TB tornaram-se prioridades nos programas nacionais de controle da AIDS (Organization., 2009;Peruhype et al, 2014 (Wang et al, 2014;Chandra et al, 2015).…”
