Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most ubiquitously found dominant infectious agents around the world especially in developing countries that cause tuberculosis for almost 8 million and the death of 2 million people each year. Though there is a prevention method, the BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin) TB vaccination, its disadvantage is that it cannot protect after 5 years from immunization and there is also possibility of diagnostic error for actual TB because there is a high chance of a false-positive result in the tuberculin test.
