It is still not very clear how the leprosy bacillus is transmitted from person to person?
G.A. Hansenin discovered the bacillus that causes leprosy.
Bacillus dysintrica
Mycoplasma
Immune mediated response to the Lepra bacillus results in tissue damage and destruction
Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus subtilis are the two main types of bacteria that produce bacitracin.
There is no vaccine for leprosy. India and Brazil currently use the Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) vaccine but that is for TB. The effectiveness of this approach is widely disputable and the search goes on.
Probably because of the slow growth of the bacillus, lepromatous leprosy develops even more slowly, taking an average of eight years for the initial lesions to appear.
Bacillus cereus is a spore-forming microbe that is gram-positive, not gram-negative. Gram-negative spore-forming microbes include Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium tetani.
From the experiment that I have conduct, these are the bacteria that Dettol effective against: Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae .
