摘要: Summary Tuberculosis is one of the most deadly infectious diseases. The situation worsening because co-infection with HIV and increased occurrence drug resistance. Although BCG vaccine has been in use for 90 years, protection insufficient; new candidates are therefore needed. 12 potential vaccines have gone into clinical trials. Ten aimed at prevention tuberculosis and, these, seven subunit either as adjuvanted or viral-vectored antigens. These would be boosters BCG-prime vaccination. Three recombinant constructs—possible replacements BCG. Additional will enter trials near future, including postexposure individuals latent infection. In long term, that prevent eradicate infection Mycobacterium best possible option. Improved knowledge immunology, molecular microbiology, cell biology, biomics, biotechnology paved way towards an effective safe against tuberculosis. pipeline from preclinical to testing could accelerated by development biomarkers can predict outcome
