Under this circumtances few bacteria survive in and around Microphages which multiplies the bacteria against the previous notion that only non replicating n weak bacteria are resistant to TB drug. Solution - researcher suggested that with combination of Cloroquine (nutralize the pH level which doesn't protect bacteria from Oxidative stress - used for TB removal ) with Isoniazid (eliminate the TB after Cloroquine effect) in Microphages. It can eliminate TB in 2 months instead of usual 6 months.   * Measels and rubella - 10 mn cases in the world n 142k death.
