Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an obligate pathogenic bacterial species that causes tuberculosis. Humans are the only known reservoirs of M. tuberculosis and can be spread through air droplets originating from a person who has the disease either coughing, sneezing, speaking, or singing. Tuberculosis is one of the oldest human diseases and remains a major cause of death in some countries. Tuberculosis can affect bone, central nervous system, and other vital organ systems but is a pulmonary disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmitted through the air. New strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis appear often that are more virulent and require new vaccines and drugs. Mycobacterium Canetti is very similar to Mycobacterium tuberculosis and belongs to both belong to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex(MTBC) which is a group of genetically similar Mycobacterium species that can cause tuberculosis in living things.
