A tuberculocide is a substance or a process which disables or destroys the bacterium which causes tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
History
In 1955, Bergsmann studied dairin as a tuberculocide.1
In 1976, Sachse studied peracetic acid as a tuberculocide.2
In 1998, Wang and Ding studied diterpenoids from the roots of Euphorbia ebracteolata (one of the Euphorbia genus) as a tuberculocide.3
In 2010, Zhang et al. reported that Euphorbia fischeriana had been used especially in Asia as a tuberculocide.4
In 2011, Nde et al. studied three oxidative disinfectants as tuberculocides.5
