Detailed explanation-1: -The process of becoming infected with TB begins when inhaled TB bacteria, also known as tubercle bacilli, begin to multiply in the small air sacs of the lungs. Some TB bacteria then enter the bloodstream and spread throughout the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacteria usually attack the lungs, but TB bacteria can attack any part of the body such as the kidney, spine, and brain. Not everyone infected with TB bacteria becomes sick.
Detailed explanation-3: -Macrophages. Since M. tuberculosis is an intracellular pathogen and infects macrophages primarily, these phagocytic cells are also used to analyze the virulence of M. tuberculosis strains and mutants.
Detailed explanation-4: -TB is an infectious bacterial disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which most commonly affects the lungs. It is transmitted from person to person through the air. The symptoms of active TB include cough, chest pains, weakness, weight loss, fever and night sweats.
