There are several protocols, because there is more than one variety of mtb.

Intestinal mtb is often caused by contaminated milk.

There is a high liklihood of a favorable outcome if the patient follows the strict and somewhat uncomfortable regimin of medications. Non-compliance with physician's instructions is the biggest problem.

There is no "cure". The bacteria will remain encapsulated somewhere until the day you die, but the disease will go into remission and the patientn will be able to live a relatively normal non-contagious life.
