Abstract

This article explores the general biological, morphological, and pathogenic characteristics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium responsible for tuberculosis (TB). It examines the structural features of the pathogen, such as its acid-fast cell wall, slow growth rate, and intracellular survival mechanisms. The article also discusses the bacterium’s modes of transmission, resistance to environmental conditions, and immune evasion strategies. Understanding these fundamental traits is crucial for the development of effective diagnostic tools, treatment regimens, and public health strategies to combat TB globally.
