What is the difference between typical and atypical pneumonia?
Tuberculosis (commonly shortened to TB) is an infection caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis.Atypical mycobacteria are other mycobacterial species that MAY cause disease but do NOT cause Tuberculosis. Unlike tuberculosis, atypical infections are NOT contagious. Atypical mycobacteria are very different from and yet are called types of tuberculosis. Also they are not passed from person to person.For example a form of atypical tuberculosis (mycobacteria chelonei) was only discovered in the late 1950s'.On a certain pacific island the hands of certain islanders were infected with sores. The cause was actually the turtles they were handling! I think "Chelonei", is actually the species of turtle.
