Abstract
Tuberculosis is undoubtedly a public health concern. An understanding of the cellular make-up of the disease can help in its mitigation by several ways aimed at providing new preventive and therapeutic approaches. The chapter thus deliberates on some of the cellular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis (Mechanism of Mtb-host interaction, phagocytosis and immune cells, inhibition of phagolysosome maturation, inhibition of phagolysosome acidification, inhibition of ubiquitination) as well as some forms of tuberculosis (pulmonary, miliary, spinal (Pott’s) tuberculosis, and tuberculous lymphadenitis).
