Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is not a spore-forming obligate anaerobic rod. It is an aerobic, non-spore-forming rod-shaped bacterium that is responsible for more deaths than any other pathogen. It produces mycolic acid, which helps to protect the bacterium from host defenses. It causes the formation of tubercles, which can calcify and form Ghon complexes in the lungs. Multi-drug-resistant strains of M. tuberculosis have also emerged.
