Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis, or Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, belongs to the genus Mycobacterium. This in turn belongs to the family Mycobacteriaceae. Therefore, Tuberculosis belongs to the family Mycobacteriaceae.

TB ulcer is transverse while typhoid is longitudinal

Tuberculosis is transmitted through infected saliva particles that leave a person's mouth when they cough. Coughing into ones hand, touching someone else, and that person touching their nose or mouth could transmit the disease. Tuberculosis is also airborne, meaning if you cough near someone, those particles could affect that person without you directly touching them as well.

A bacterium.

Because common symptoms were loss of appetite, fatigue and a chronic cough that expelled blood and so the sufferer could be said to have been 'consumed' by the disease as it took over their life until they died, since no one would go near them because it was so contagious, they would no longer go out, eat or socialise. People used to cough themselves to death.

I think anyway.

John Henry ("Doc") Holliday may had either caught Tuberculosis by his mother , Alice Jane (McKey) Holliday (she died from the disease September 16, 1866 when John was 15 [ two years after moving to Valdosta, Georgia from Griffin, Georgia ]) ; or had caught it from one of his patients , while he was a Dentist ( as few of his patients came into his office , coughing and sneezing, while he was working on their teeth ). It is not known exactly when he contracted it, but it is known he had it form the time he was a young man - early 20's, anyhow.

Tuberculosis (TB) is spread through oral contact and is extremely contagious.

It is most often caught through coughs an sneezes, though on very rare occasions you can catch it from eating/drinking infected meat from cattle with bovine tuberculosis (BTB)

The problem with TB is that the first time you contract it, it is indistinguishable from a cold, and so is not picked up on and treated. The TB bacteria can then lay dormant in your system for years before you experience the second stage which is the dangerous disease - people used to call it consumption, and many thousands of people died.

This is why it is so important to vaccinate against it.

The medical term meaning Tb skin test is Mantoux. It's a term that refers to a skin test to check for tuburculosis.

the body is trying to expell the tb bacteria.

The discovery was made by the French Calmette and Guerin who instituted the basis for the vaccine against tuberculosis by using a low virulence Tb bacteria vaccine. The last step needed in the therapy of tuberculosis was made in the middle of the Second World War when chemotherapy was invented.

The aging process itself may weaken the body's immune system, which is then less able to ward off the tubercle bacillus. Finally, bacteria that have lain dormant for some time in elderly persons may be reactivated and cause illness.

what kinds of precations are necssary in tuberculosis

Dr. Robert Koch discovered the tuberculosis bacillus

Yes, one can contract TB from inhaling the infected particles from someone who has TB, so therefore kissing someone with TB will definitely give you the disease.

Sickle cell is an inherited blood disorder. It is a illness that you are born with.

It is a bacterial illness, contracted by consuming food or water infected with human faeces containing the bacterium Salmonella thyphi.

Tuberculosis is named for the bacterium that causes it, "mycobacterium tuberculosis", which was first "seen" by Robert Koch, a German physician. Tuberculosis used to be called "consumption".

Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by a closely related family of Mycobacterium, usually M. bovis or M. tuberculosis. TB is spread through both unpasteurized milk and through aerosolized droplets expelled from the lungs of infected individuals, human and animal. Most developed countries have a TB eradication program in place, but there are multiple wildlife reservoirs (white-tailed deer in the US, badgers in the UK) that are significantly hindering progress towards total eradication.

For tuberculosis: it is transmitted by droplets, i.e. coughing or sneezing.

For pneumonia: viral pneumonia, again, droplets. Bacterial pneumonia, normal body bacteria from the skin and mucous membranes, travel to the lungs and cause infection in the presence of fluid in the lungs, like there would be if you were congested.

In all instances, having a suppressed immune system can increase the chances of getting the disease/illness.

No TB is not genetically transmitted. TB is transmitted through airborne pathogens that are breathed in to the lungs.
