Review of mycobacterium tuberculosis detection

This paper discusses various methods used to diagnose Tuberculosis diseases which is a leading cause of death throughout the world. It introduces mycobacterium tuberculosis and reviews various types of tuberculosis disease. Besides that, the limitations of the current methods used to detect mycobacterium tuberculosis are also revealed. A non-invasive technique to detect the mycobacterium tuberculosis based on its electrical properties is proposed to simplify and speed up the detection and analysis processes.
