With active tuberculosis developing in approximately nine million people every year and 1.7 million deaths resulting from tuberculosis infection annually, tuberculosis is far from under control and is a major public health problem in Asia and Africa1. The increasing spread of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and the recalcitrant nature of persistent infections pose additional challenges to treatment with currently available antituberculous drugs1. The majority of people in a developing country like India are routinely exposed to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and the prevalence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in all age groups in India is around 40%2.
