Answer:
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) is a bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB) in humans. TB is a disease that primarily affects the lungs, although it can attack other parts of the body. It spreads much like a cold or the flu — through the expelled airborne droplets from a person with infectious TB.
When inhaled, the bacterium can settle in the lungs, where it begins to grow. If not treated, it can spread to areas such as the kidneys, spine, and brain. It can be life-threatening.
