| mycobacteria | <microbiology> Bacteria with unusual cell walls that are resistant to digestion, being waxy, very hydrophobic and rich in lipid, especially esterified mycolic acids. Staining properties differ from those of gram-negative and gram-positive organisms, being acid-fast. Many are intracellular parasites, causing serious diseases such as leprosy and tuberculosis. Cell wall has strong immunostimulating (adjuvant) properties due to muramyl dipeptide (MDP). Mycobacterium bovis causes tuberculosis in cattle, attenuated strain is Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG), used for immunisation. Mycobacterium leprae is the causative agent of leprosy. Mycobacterium microti is a mycobacterium that causes tuberculosis like disease in small rodents (Microtus microtus is the vole), will infect mice but not humans and is therefore much used as a laboratory model. Releases large amounts of cAMP which may inhibit lysosome phagosome fusion. Mycobacterium tuberculosis Is an obligate anaerobic nonmotile bacterium, causative agent of tuberculosis in humans. Lives intracellularly in macrophages. (18 Nov 1997) |

| mycobacteriaceae | A family of gram-positive bacteria found in soil and dairy products and as parasites on animals and man. Several are important pathogens. (12 Dec 1998) |
| atypical mycobacteria | Species of mycobacteria other than M. Tuberculosis or M. Bovis that can cause disease in immunocompromised humans. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| group III mycobacteria | Mycobacteria that are either colourless or that slowly produce a light yellow pigment when grown in the presence of light. Organisms placed in this group belong to the species Mycobacterium intracellulare. Synonym: nonchromogens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| group II mycobacteria | Mycobacteria that produce a yellow pigment even when grown in the dark; when grown in the light, the pigment is orange. These organisms behave as do saprophytes in humans and are nonpathogenic to laboratory animals. Synonym: scotochromogens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| group I mycobacteria | Mycobacteria that produce a bright yellow colour when grown in the presence of light. Organisms placed in this group appear to belong to the species Mycobacterium kansasii. Synonym: photochromogens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| group IV mycobacteria | Mycobacteria that grow rapidly and that do not produce pigment. Organisms placed in this group belong to such species as Mycobacterium ulcerans and M. Marinum. (05 Mar 2000) |

| mycobacteria |
Mycobacterium is the a genus of actinobacteria, given its own family, the Mycobacteriaceae. It includes many pathogens known to cause serious diseases in mammals, including tuberculosis and leprosy. Most mycobacteria are classified into two categories, the fast-growing kind and the slow-growing kind, and most mycobacteria share some common characteristics: *They are widespread organisms, typically living in water (including tap water treated with chlorine) and food sources. ...
