[The etiologic agent of rat leprosy, also known as murine leprosy.
] |
|
Mycobacterium marinum
|
D019910 |

|
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
|
D009169 |
[A species of gram-positive, aerobic bacteria that produces TUBERCULOSIS in humans, other primates, CATTLE; DOGS; and some other animals which have contact with humans. Growth tends to be in serpentine, cordlike masses in which the bacilli show a parallel orientation.

|
Mycobacterium ulcerans
|
D019911 |
[A slow-growing mycobacterium that infects the skin and subcutaneous tissues, giving rise to indolent BURULI ULCER.
] |
|
Mycobacterium xenopi
|
D019912 |
