When did Albert Calmette discover tuberculosis?

Albert Calmette did NOT discover tuberculosis. He was only trying to cure it. In 1882, the German microbiologist Robert Koch discovered that Mycobacterium Tuberculosis caused tuberculosis. However, the discoverer of tuberculosis is not one person, but many scientists who have described the disease.The first person to describe the disease was Hippocrates, a Greek physician. This shows that tuberculosis has existed for 15,000 to 20,000 years.
