tuberculosis

The disease resulting from infection by bacteria from the genus Mycobacteria. Primarily caused by complex-forming M.Tuberculosis or M. Bovis the disease is predominantly transmitted by respiratory secretions and suprisingly, is not very contagious. Infection by tubercule bacillus results in chronic lesion-forming in pulmonary tissues. Disease progression is long-term and lesion dissemination can be fatal.
