Molecules and cells in both of immunity systems undertaking this mechanism and initiate each other facing infection from very first bacterial exposure inside the host. Immunity systems against bacteria development from inhalation step through granuloma initiation and antibody anti-tuberculosis. Host’s mechanism against tuberculosis is urge to presumed in order to develop strategies based on immunology to decreasing tuberculosis incidence worldwide
