Abstract
The search for a cure for tuberculosis throughout history has been menaced by the increasing number of people with HIV and the continuous appearence of antituberculosis drug resistance. The development of diagnosis procedures, vaccines and drugs is updated in this review, emphasizing the methods to overcome resistances, the mechanisms of drugs action, and the best known or more vulnerable targets.
