Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Coloured Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of a cluster of the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. They are Gram-positive rod-shaped bacilli bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB) in humans. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is spread by coughing or sneezing, and is inhaled into the lungs.
