As per available reports about 219 journals, 25 Conferences and 10 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to Tuberculosis and about 2,12,229 articles (pubmed) are being published on the current trends in Tuberculosis. In terms of research annually, USA, Europe, India, Germany and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to Tuberculosis are being carried out. As reported under WHO report, Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) that most often affect the lungs. Tuberculosis is curable and preventable. TB is spread from person to person through the air. When people with lung TB cough, sneeze or spit, they propel the TB germs into the air. A person needs to inhale only a few of these germs to become infected.

Mycobacterial Diseases is an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals in Tuberculosis. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. The Journal: Mycobacterial Diseases provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of Tuberculosis, thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.
