Abstract

One-third of the world’s population harbours the latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) with a lifetime risk of reactivation. Although, the treatment of LTBI relies significantly on the first-line therapy, identification of novel drug targets and therapies are the emerging focus for researchers across the globe. The current review provides an insight into the infection, diagnostic methods and epigrammatic explanations of potential molecular targets of dormant phase bacilli. This study also includes current preclinical and clinical aspects of tubercular infections and new approaches in antitubercular drug discovery.

Keywords: Latent tuberculosis infection, diagnosis, biomarkers, molecular targets, Mtb topoisomerase-I, lysine 3-aminotransferase, isocitrate lyase, regulon.
