Etiology of pulmonary tuberculosis

Mycobacterium tuberculosis belongs to the genus Mycobacterium of Actinomyces and Mycobacteriaceae, and it is a virulent acid-resistant bacterium. Mainly divided into human, cattle, birds, rats and other types. Human-type bacteria are the main pathogens, and bovine-type bacteria are rarely infected.

Drug resistance of tuberculosis can be formed by the development of congenital drug-resistant bacteria in the flora, or by using an anti-tuberculosis drug alone in the human body. Drug-resistant bacteria will cause difficulties in treatment and affect the curative effect.
