It is estimated that Tuberculosis TB hits 10 million people globally and among them 1.5 million died from this disease. Now a days, world is facing another worst form of TB i.e. Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB). The MDR-TB is the form of TB in which the disease pathogen exhibits resistance to two most powerful first line anti-TB drugs, isoniazid and rifampicin. However, toxic side effects and frequent use of these drugs has led to an increasing incidence of MDR-TB. In this context, natural and alternative resources may be worthful. Among them, some medicinal plants have been mentioned in Ayurveda and Unani medicinal system for TB cure, and several medicinal plants are known for TB treatment by folks, tribal people or being used traditional/indigenously for the purpose. The present study plans to explore endophytes from plants known to the tribal and local vaidya for their anti-mycobacterial properties.
