(tubercle bacilli): 为结核病的病原体。
"Tuberculosis" comes from the Latin word, tuberculum, meaning "protuberance, projection or growth," and refers to the tumorlike nodules that victims often display. In fact, until TB's bacterial agent was discovered in 1882, many physicians thought TB's characteristic nodules and wasting identified it as a form of cancer.

Additional infiltrates could be seen in the entire left lung and in the right parahilar mid-lung field. Several concentrated sputum samples revealed numerous acidfast bacilli. Daily antituberculous therapy was initiated with rifampin, 600 mg, isoniazid, 300 mg, and ethambutol, 700 mg (with a target of 15 mg/kg). One smear-positive specimen was immediately processed for susceptibility testing after communicating with the mycobacteriology laboratory. After 3 weeks of treatment, the patient continued to have a temperature of up to 39.4°C and experienced a weight loss of about 5 kg. A repeat chest radiograph revealed a worsening of the left lung infiltrate and a persistence of the rightsided infiltrate.

– 热触酶试验阴性
• 抵抗力强
– 抗干燥，抗酸碱，抗化学消毒剂； – 对湿热和紫外线敏感； – 对抗结核药（异烟肼、利福平、环丝氨酸 、乙胺丁醇等）敏 感，但易产生耐药性。
• 变异性：结核杆菌多种性状可发生变异
– 形态变异：在异烟肼、溶菌酶等作用下形成L型（多形性）； – 菌落变异：R-S型变异，性状典型→不典型，毒力减弱； – 毒力变异：卡介苗（Bacilli Calmette-Guerin, BCG）： 1908年两位科学家将有毒的牛型分枝杆菌接种在含甘油、 胆汁、马铃薯的培养基中，经13年230代传代获得的减毒菌 株，即卡介苗沿用至今；

A 22-year-old gravid African-American woman was evaluated at 23 weeks’ gestation during her second pregnancy because of a positive tuberculin skin test result with 18 mm of induration. The patient reported a history of dry cough and fever for 2 months, and weight loss and night sweats for 1 month. She denied hemoptysis. The findings of her physical examination were unremarkable except for a body weight of 48 kg (body mass index, 18.3 kg/m2). On examination, her temperature was 42°C. Breath sounds were normal, and there were no crackles, rales, or rhonchi. The patient was admitted to the hospital. The chest radiograph revealed a left upper lung cavity (Fig 1 ).
