Mycobacterium Tuberculosis By Raden Galung Imam Akbar

1. Introduction 1.1 Background Tuberculosis, MTB, or TB is a common, and in many cases lethal, infectious disease caused by various strains of mycobacteria, usually Mycobacterium tuberculosis. One third of the world's population is thought to have been infected with M. tuberculosis, with new infections occurring at a rate of about one per second.

2. Definition And Symptoms 2.1 Definition Tuberculosis, MTB, or TB is a common, and in many cases lethal, infectious disease caused by various strains of mycobacteria, usually Mycobacterium tuberculosis.The main cause of TB is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a small, aerobic nonmotile bacillus.

2.2 The Symptoms Symptoms may include chest pain and a prolonged cough producing sputum. Occasionally, people may cough up blood in small amounts and in very rare cases the infection may erode into the pulmonary artery, resulting in massive bleeding known as Rasmussen's aneurysm.

3. Aspect that can cause

Tuberculosis is closely linked to both overcrowding and malnutrition, making it one of the principal diseases of poverty. Those at high risk thus include: people who inject illicit drugs, inhabitants and employees of locales where vulnerable people gather (e.g. prisons and homeless shelters), medically underprivileged and resource-poor communities, high-risk ethnic minorities, children in close contact with high-risk category patients and health care providers serving these clients. Those who smoke cigarettes have nearly twice the risk of TB than non-smokers.

4. The Medical Treatment Treatment of TB uses antibiotics to kill the bacteria. The two antibiotics most commonly used are isoniazid and rifampicin, and treatments can be prolonged (months).The recommended treatment of new-onset pulmonary tuberculosis, is six months of a combination of antibiotics containing rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol for the first two months, and only rifampicin and isoniazid for the last four months.

5. The Preventions Tuberculosis prevention and control efforts primarily rely on the vaccination of infants and the detection and appropriate treatment of active cases. The World Health Organization has achieved some success with improved treatment regimens, and a small decrease in case numbers. The only currently available vaccine as of 2011 is bacillus CalmetteGurin (BCG).

6. Conclusion Tuberculosis, MTB, or TB (short for tubercle bacillus) is a common, and in many cases lethal, infectious disease caused by various strains of mycobacteria,

usually Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Symptoms may include chest pain and a prolonged

cough producing sputum. Occasionally, people may cough up blood in small amounts. Tuberculosis prevention and control efforts primarily rely on the vaccination of infants and the detection and appropriate treatment of active cases.
