Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Coloured Scanning electron micrograph of a colony of Mycobacterium tuberculosis,the cause of tuberculosis (TB) in humans. These bacteria are spread by coughing or sneezing. When inhaled into the lungs they proliferate in an infected lesion called a primary tubercle. They then spread to local lymph nodes,causing pulmonary tuberculosis (consumption). TB is still a major killer in developing countries and among AIDS patients.
