ABSTRACT

Tuberculosis is disease caused by a group of closely related bacterial species termed the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). Tuberculosis has probably affected humans for millennia, although the time scale of the origin of the MTBC has not been agreed. There is strong evidence demonstrating that the MTBC evolved in the East of Africa probably affecting the first ancestral hominids. Before the nineteenth century, tuberculosis remained as an unknown disease. The contributions of many researchers such as Villemin, Laennec and specially the discovery of the causative agent of tuberculosis by Robert Koch, were crucial for a better understanding of this disease. The emergence of the sanatoria and the implementation of antibiotics were essential elements in the fight against tuberculosis. Recently, global strategies and plans Issued by the World Health Organization, have been actions taken to control, reduce and eliminate tuberculosis.
