Abstract
Mycobacteria tuberculosis infects about one third of the world population in their life times and causes millions of deaths each year. M. tuberculosis has a unique capability to circumvent the bactericidal activities of macrophages – the frontline defenders of the host immunity. New understanding of this mechanism has positioned scientists to develop therapies that allow host immune system to gain an upper hand.
