Immune evasion and provocation by Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2022 Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, has infected humans for millennia. M. tuberculosis is well adapted to establish infection, persist in the face of the host immune response and be transmitted to uninfected individuals.

Nursing Standard, 2016 Tuberculosis (TB) is an airborne infectious disease caused by organisms of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Although primarily a pulmonary pathogen, M. tuberculosis can cause disease in almost any part of the body. Infection with M. tuberculosis can evolve from containment in the host, in which the bacteria are isolated within granulomas (latent

Epidemiology and factors associated with Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis in a Low-prevalence area
Journal of Clinical Tuberculosis and Other Mycobacterial Diseases, 2023 Background Tuberculosis is a global public health problem. Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis accounts for an increasing proportion of cases worldwide, although information about epidemiological, clinical, or microbiological factors is lacking.
