The Evolution of Tuberculosis Before the 20th century‚ there was little hope of survival for patients diagnosed with tuberculosis. The disease was considered impossible to fight and the only course of remedy was staying healthy by managing a healthy diet and getting plenty of rest (Goldberg et al.‚ 2012). In 1921‚ advancements in scientific research led to the development of the first vaccine‚ known as Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) (Lienhardt et al.‚ 2012). The discovery

bacteria. It is important to determine the specific type of bacterium causing disease so the physician is able to correctly treat the patients. The structure of bacteria plays a crucial role of what antibiotics works and which do not. The chemical reaction of the bacteria is also important. Most antibiotics alter or inhibit protein structure‚ inhibit transcription‚ inhibit translation‚ affect cell membrane structure‚ or alter cell-wall synthesis (1). Bacterial resistance is another pertinent medical
