Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) is a pathogenic bacteria species in the Mycobacteriaceae family, and the tuberculosis causative agent. First discovered by Robert Koch, M., in 1882. Tuberculosis has an irregular, waxy coating on its cell surface, owing primarily to mycolic acid presence. This coating makes Gram staining impervious to the cells, and as a result, M. Tuberculosis can be Gram-negative or Gram-positive. Instead, acid-fast stains like Ziehl-Neelsen, or fluorescent stains like auramine are used to classify M. Microscopic Tuberculosis. Physiology Tuberculosis is highly aerobic, requiring a high oxygen content. The mammalian respiratory system is mainly a pathogen, infecting the lungs. The tuberculin skin test, acid-fast dye, history, and polymerase chain reaction are the most commonly used diagnostic methods for tuberculosis.
