Description:Acid-fast, obligate aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It is responsible for tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is, to this day, according to the WHO, the leading killer of adults. This is especially the case in HIV-positive individuals. Drug resistant strains are emerging mainly because people do not complete their treatment plans or have been incorreclty treated and so have remained infectious.

Properties:Number of membranes : 1
Presence of a flagella : No
Number of inteins : 3 in 3 different sequences
