Before final diagnosis is made, it was unresponsive to empirical therapy of bacterial epididymo-o...

Tuberculosis remains a global emergency causing an estimated 1.5 million deaths annually. For several decades the major focus of tuberculosis treatment has been on antibiotic development targeting Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The lengthy tuberculosis treatment duration and poor treatment outcomes associated with multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) are of major concern. The sparse new tube...

Considerable efforts and concurrent studies have been made to substantiate the control of tuberculosis (TB). The was not achieved significantly, as stigma is one significant barriers controlling tuberculosis. It hampers TB treatment’s determined targeted completion.
