Abstract
Highlights
•
Some infectious diseases occur more often in some seasons of the year, and climate change may aggravate the microbiologic burden today.
•
Climate change may affect food- and water-borne infectious diseases in different geographic areas.
•
Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide.
•
The dreadful scenario of the 2nd half of the 21st century may include the recrudescence of tuberculosis globally.
•
We need to address this challenge now that genomic and bioinformatic tools are helping in re-shaping drug discovery.
