The unique intracellular life cycle, more dangerous drug-resistant forms of bacilli, and insufficient investments in the TB research and development hindered the occurrence of optimum diagnostic, preventive, and treatment strategy against this disease.
AREAS COVERED: The aim of this review is to provide an update and overview of the current trends in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of the disease. It summarizes a recent patent literature (2014-2017) available on the same.
EXPERT OPINION: Some questions like 'why most of these inventions do not reach up to the market for public use? Are these inventions being explored only to get a financial return to a particular industry or do they have any societal benefit?' emphatically come to mind. Together with the efforts taken by various governmental and nongovernmental organizations, a public awareness about the recent advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease is of the highest importance to make 'the end of TB' from the universe.
