The symptoms of diphtheria are caused by toxins produced by the diphtheria bacillus, Corynebacterium diphtheriae (from the Greek for "rubber membrane").
The bacillus causing tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, was identified and described by Robert Koch. He received the Nobel Prize in physiology/medicine in 1905 for this discovery.
Robert Koch, a pioneering microbiologist in the late twentieth century, isolated and identified the pathogenic bacteria that caused cholera (Vibrio cholera), anthrax (Bacillus anthracis) and tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis).

No, it is called Mycobacterium leprae!http://www.medicinenet.com/leprosy/page2.htm#causes
Hansen's disease was named after G. A. Hansen, who in 1878 identified the bacillus Mycobacterium leprae that causes the disease.
Tuberculosis (abbreviated as TB for tubercle bacillus or Tuberculosis) is a common and often deadly infectious disease caused by mycobacteria, mainly Mycobacterium tuberculosis [1]. Tuberculosis usually attacks the lungs (as pulmonary TB) but can also affect the central nervous system, the lymphatic system, the circulatory system, the genitourinary system, the gastrointestinal system, bones, joints, and even the skin. Other mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium bovis, Mycobacterium africanum, Mycobacterium canetti, and Mycobacterium microti also cause tuberculosis, but these species are less common.
