[Tuberculosis focused through the molecular biology zoom].

The sequence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome set up a process of systematic research and improved the understanding of the microorganism biology, albeit the clues of its virulence and pathogenicity still remain rather cryptic. Genetic engineering did not succeed in designing more effective or convenient tools to accomplish the control of tuberculosis. Neither the bacillus variants created by mutagenesis and recombination nor the microorganism subunits (antigens, DNA) proved to be significantly better than the BCG vaccine as immunogens. Likewise, the search for novel bacterial targets and
