Mycobacterium Mycobacterium Mycobacterium is a genus of the family Mycobacteriaceae in the phylum Actinobacteria. Mycobacteria comprise more than 150 species of facultative intracellular bacilli that are mostly obligate aerobes. Mycobacteria are responsible for multiple human infections including serious diseases, such as tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis), leprosy (M. leprae), and M. avium complex infections. Mycobacterium es un género de la familia Mycobacteriaceae Mycobacteriaceae A family of gram-positive bacteria found in soil and dairy products and as parasites on animals and man. Several are important pathogens. Mycobacterium en EN Erythema nodosum is an immune-mediated panniculitis (inflammation of the subcutaneous fat) caused by a type IV (delayed-type) hypersensitivity reaction. It commonly manifests in young women as tender, erythematous nodules on the shins. Erythema Nodosum el filo Actinobacteria Actinobacteria Class of bacteria with diverse morphological properties. Strains of actinobacteria show greater than 80% 16s rDNA/rRNA sequence similarity among each other and also the presence of certain signature nucleotides. Mycobacterium.

Las micobacterias son responsables de múltiples infecciones humanas, incluidas enfermedades graves, como la tuberculosis Tuberculosis Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex bacteria. The bacteria usually attack the lungs but can also damage other parts of the body. Approximately 30% of people around the world are infected with this pathogen, with the majority harboring a latent infection. Tuberculosis spreads through the air when a person with active pulmonary infection coughs or sneezes. Tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis Tuberculosis Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex bacteria.

Si bien los LOS Neisseria pulmones son el sitio más común de infección, las micobacterias pueden colonizar e infectar otros sistemas, incluyendo ganglios linfáticos, piel, senos paranasales, ojos, oídos, huesos, SNC y tracto urinario.
