Listeria
Mycobacterium
mycobacterium
Two genera of bacteria that are gram variable are Mycobacterium and Corynebacterium. Gram variable bacteria may appear to be both gram-positive and gram-negative due to differences in their cell walls.
Mycobacterium leprae
Bacteria cause both anthrax and diphtheria.
Aerobic bacteria, which require oxygen for their metabolic processes. Some examples include species of Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Mycobacterium.

AFB= Acid Fast Bacillus
Mycobacterium leprae
TB stands for tubercle bacillus(Tuberculosis) it is caused mainly by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.It is a common, often deadly infectious disease.The causative micro-organism is Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Bacillus and Corynebacterium can be differentiated based on several characteristics. Bacillus species are typically rod-shaped, form endospores, and are aerobic or facultatively anaerobic, while Corynebacterium species are irregularly shaped, often forming club-shaped rods, and are primarily aerobic. Additionally, Bacillus can grow on nutrient-rich media, whereas Corynebacterium requires specific conditions for growth and may show a characteristic “Chinese letter” arrangement in their cellular arrangement. Biochemical tests, such as the catalase test, can also aid in differentiation, as both genera are catalase-positive, but other metabolic tests will provide further distinction.
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.
Bacteria cause both anthrax and diphtheria.
Sometimes it is hard to remember what is or is not a bacteria. 5 examples of bacteria are coccus, spirillum, vibrio, spirochete, and bacillus.
Aerobic bacteria, which require oxygen for their metabolic processes. Some examples include species of Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Mycobacterium.
