TB is mostly spread through the air so anyone that comes in contact with TB through a sneeze, cough, or even talking can get TB. Inhaling TB air particles and being around infected people greatly increases ones chances of getting TB. Also, individuals with HIV are at an even higher risk of getting TB.]]> 2018-11-25 05:53:45 UTC https://padlet.com/pcraven01/jkoo05hckewy/wish/307464472 pcraven01 https://padlet.com/pcraven01/jkoo05hckewy/wish/307464627 Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is from the family Mycobacteriaceae and is the causative agent of tuberculosis. MTB is acid-fast, non-motile, and obligate aerobe. The bacilli in MTB has a very slow generation time which is between 15 to 20 hours. ]]> 2018-11-25 05:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/pcraven01/jkoo05hckewy/wish/307464627 pcraven01 https://padlet.com/pcraven01/jkoo05hckewy/wish/307464737 The symptoms of active tuberculosis are normally chronic cough, night sweats, fever, weakness, and weight loss. It is not always the case but people with tuberculosis will sometimes cough up blood.]]> 2018-11-25 05:58:23 UTC https://padlet.com/pcraven01/jkoo05hckewy/wish/307464737 pcraven01 https://padlet.com/pcraven01/jkoo05hckewy/wish/307464761 Ways to prevent tuberculosis are to get the bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine. Also, we need to screen those at high risk (anyone that has come in contact with someone that has TB) and early detection of TB helps prevent more TB from spreading. ]]> 2018-11-25 05:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/pcraven01/jkoo05hckewy/wish/307464761 pcraven01 https://padlet.com/pcraven01/jkoo05hckewy/wish/307467400 Tuburculosis Treatment is taking antibiotics. Unlike most bacterium infections TB treatment can take up to 6 to 9 months to be treated with antibiotics. The antibiotics can differ depending on your age, health, and drug resistance. Even though 6 to 9 months is a long time for treatment it is essential that the doses are taken correctly and taken the entire time frame necessary.
