In summary, in order to control tuberculosis, we require a rapid diagnosis of TB patients, who act as the source of disease; and if remain untreated, these patients can spread the disease throughout the population. Therefore, we need to introduce the new approach for quick and accurate identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and CYP141 gene is a new approach for rapid and accura...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli reach the genital tract primarily by haematogenous spread and dissemination from foci outside the genitalia with lungs as the common primary focus. Genital TB in females is a chronic disease with low-...
