We carried out a review of the scientific literature to identify the publications that reported methods for the inactivation of MTB, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses recommendations. The search addressed inactivation methodologies used in Public health laboratories for the treatment of biological material and only included studies reporting the efficacy of the method. The database used were PubMed (National Library of Medicine) and LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences). We evaluated the quality of the studies with the JBI (Joanna Briggs Institute) Critical Instrument Appraisal Checklist. We included 14 publications meeting the established inclusion and exclusion criteria. These 14 studies actually described a total of 35 inactivation methods. Most of them combined heat treatment with some chemical or enzymatic agent, and there were very few applying a single strategy. Twenty-four (68.57%) methods demonstrated significant efficacy in inactivating MTB. The systematic review identified 35 methods of inactivation of MTB, published in 14 studies. Most of the methods combined physical treatment techniques, especially heat, with chemical and\/or enzymatic treatment techniques, obtaining mostly good results in preventing the reproduction of the microorganism.
