TOPIC
Pathogenesis of infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium microbe
INTRODUCTION
Pathogenesis is a kind of process that involves many steps that majorly starts or begins
with transmission of infectious agent o microbe to host which further results in colonization of
the site which further results in invading into host system (Kriauciunas and et. al., 2019). there
are various kinds of microbes that that can invade into host system and develop colonies as a
result host system can suffer from different kinds of diseases due to colonization of microbes.
This essay will lay emphasis upon Pathogenesis of infection of bacterium microbe and
Tuberculosis disease which caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium microbe. This
essay will also focus upon virulence factors of bacterium, symptoms suffered by
immunocompromised host when suffering from Tuberculosis and ways in which it can be treated
and diagnosed.
PATHOGENESIS OF INFECTION
Overview of bacterium and Tuberculosis diseases
Bacteria is a single microbe. Its cell structure is quite simpler than other organisms
Bacterium does not consist of any kind of membrane or nucleus bound organelles. In fact, their
control centre that contains genetic information is contained in a single loop of DNA. Some of
the bacteria also have an extra circle of genetic material which is called plasmid due to which
these bacterium gets an advantage over other bacteria (Gagneux, 2018). There are many different
kinds of bacterium such as acidobacteria, aquificae, firmicutes and many more. Each of these
bacterium causes different kinds of diseases. Tuberculosis is one of those disease which is
caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This bacterium usually attacks at
lungs but it can attack at any part of body like kidney, spine, and brain. However, not eery host
attacked with Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium becomes sick. Some of the host can
become sick due to this bacterium and can suffer from tuberculosis whereas some of them might
not get sick.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis Bacterium a prokaryotic or eukaryotic type of microbe and its
implications in terms of treatment
There are two main types of microbes: prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Prokaryotic are type of
microbes in which nucleus is absent whereas, eukaryotic is a kind of microbe in which nucleus is
