Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most challenging global health problems. BCG, the only vaccine in use against TB, has not performed satisfactorily and most efforts to develop a new TB vaccine have met with little success.In this review, without revisiting the stories of failed TB vaccines, we focus on what has prevented the development of a perfect TB vaccine and issues that need immediate attention in order to succeed.
