Tuberculosis is a bacterial disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.  It can attack any part of the body.  Though it usually affects the lungs.  It can also affect the renal, musculoskeletal or lymphatic systems.  Anyone can get TB, though people with compromised immune systems and elderly persons are at greater risk.  People with diabetes or cancer are also at greater risk.  TB is transmitted from person to person through inhalation of droplets from a sneezre or cough.  You can also become exposed through prolonged, close exposure to an infected person.  Signs and symptoms of TB include a persistant cough, fever, weight loss, fatigue and night sweats.  Some individuals have no symptoms.  There are medications to treat TB. There is currently NO VACCINE for TB.  A skin test (Mantoux test) can show if TB bacteria is present.  The incubation period for TB is 4 to 12 weeks.

Thats quite a platefull there...\n\nI'll help out with a few, afterall... it is your research project.\n\nThink of your common respiratory illnesses... bronchitis, flu, cold... etc.  Then I'd run a search of other respiratory illnesses, pneumonia for example (bacterial AND viral).\n\nHandling of specimens... you should know the aseptic technique.  And your major rule in the micro lab... Treat every microbe as if it were a pathogen.\n\nTypically... you bacterial diseases are cause by Gram Negative bacteria, to isolate those guy you'd grow them up on Mackonkey's Agar.  You can use a number of selective/differential mediums to help isolate your pathogens.\n\nVirus needs to be cultured up similar to parasites... cell culture.\n\nTreatments vary... though most commonly you'll see antibiotics (even when the cause is not a bacteria... thank you very much Doctors...grr)

They would do a chest xray for TB and most probably will draw some blood for testing against HIV, Rubella, and other stuff. If you have all your medical records regarding shots that he took as a kid it might help.

The problem is that the test is standardized to diagnose exposure to the Tuberculosis bacterium. Your bodies greatest immune reaction to Tuberculin found in the "PPD" occurs between 48-72 hours, when a 'wheal' ( a raised red bump greater than 10 milimeters will occur if you have been exposed) will develop to identify your exposure to TB. After 3 days, the 'wheal"  goes down, and you can not accurately predict your risk of exposure. (A "Red mark"as described in the other answer does not indicate exposure). \nSo most likely if it is truly important to determine your risk of being exposed to TB (like for a health care job, or college) it needs to be "read' by a trained person (nurse or MD) by three days of age. So it looks like you may need to have it repeated.\ngood luck

Broth and slant properties? \nI hope this is what you are looking for...\n\nMycobacteria tuberculosis (M. tb) grows well on Lowenstein-Jensen media (LJ media), which is an egg based media that contains malachite green (among other chemicals)  to inhibit other types of bacterial growth. It also grows well on a Middlebrook medium(labeled 7H-10 or 7H-11). It grows slowly, if at all, on Blood Agar. Colonies are non-pigmented, roughish and raised on the various media. Under a microscope, the colonies appear similar to a cross-section of a brain, or a cauliflower...\n\nFor broths, M. tb grows best in Middlebrook (7H-9) broths, but can also grow in Sodium thiosulfate broths as well. Colonies have the same appearance as they do on solid media, although they do float in clumps in liquid media.\n\nM. tb grows at 25-37 degrees Celsius, although it prefers  35 degrees. Growth is enhances slightly with CO2, depending on the specific strain.\n\nHope this helps! This info pertains only to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, other types of mycobacteria have different characteristics. Check the CDC website for pictures and further information: www.cdc.gov

Initially a feeling of malaise and a mild cough, which may produce green or yellow mucous. As the disease progresses, the quantity of sputum increases; and there may be blood in it. A characteristic symptom is waking at night covered with sweat. Fluid in the pleural space make the sufferer short of breath. Occasionally the infection will spread to other parts of the body, including the kidneys, the bladder, the prostate, or the ovaries. The tuberculosis bacterium can attack the skin, heart, brain, or bones.

Google that and you will find as I did that there is a wealth of information on external environment analysis within health care!!!\n\nGood Luck!!!

Try checking the WHO (world health organisation) website, that would be your best chance to get accurate data.

do the experiment and note what processes are taken (ex growing a plant-1st put seed in dirt 2nd water etc etc) this is analysis\n\ndid you take some steps during your experiment that may have caused some delays or errors (ex did you remember to give your plant lighting?)

Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining is the key technique for diagnosis of mycobacterial infections; however, a high percentage of patients exhibit positive signs of tuberculosis, as indicated by pathology, culture of mycobacteria, and polymerase chain-reaction analysis, and yet show negative results on ZN staining.

What you are asking about is in the realm of surface science.  There are many analytical techniques and I will not try to go through all of them.  This is a good starting place: http://www.uksaf.org/tech/list.html

Tuberculosis (commonly shortened to TB) is an infection caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which most commonly affects the lungs (pulmonary TB) but can also affect the central nervous system (meningitis), lymphatic system, circulatory system (Miliary tuberculosis), genitourinary system, bones and joints.\n\nTuberculosis is one of the most deadly and common major infectious diseases today, infecting two billion people, or approximately one-third ( WHO TB.) of the world's population. Nine million new cases of the disease, resulting in two million deaths, occur annually, mostly in developing countries. However, developed countries are not spared the burden of tuberculosis. There is a rising number of people in the developed world who contract tuberculosis because they have compromised immune systems, typically as a result of immunosupressive drugs or HIV/AIDS. These people are at particular risk of tuberculosis infection and active tuberculosis disease.\n\nMost of those infected (90%) have asymptomatic latent TB infection (LTBI). There is a 10% lifetime chance that LTBI will progress to TB disease which, if left untreated, will kill more than 50% of its victims. TB is one of the top three infectious killing diseases in the world: TB kills 2 million, and malaria kills 1 million.\n\nThe neglect of TB control programs, HIV/AIDS, and immigration has caused a resurgence of tuberculosis. Multiple drug resistant strains of TB (MDR-TB) and Extreme Drug-Resistance in Tuberculosis (XDR-TB) are emerging. The World Health Organization declared TB a global health emergency in 1993, and the Stop TB Partnership proposed a Global Plan to Stop Tuberculosis which aims to save an additional 14 million lives between 2006 and 2015.

Take different angles at it.  Look at it from different perspectives, analize it, have class involvment, use some form of technology

In order to prevent TB infection, it is necessary to know the cause of spreading this disease.\n(1) Increase in HIV infection.There is a rising number of people in the developed world who contract tuberculosis because they have compromised immune systems, typically as a result of immunosupressive drugs or HIV/AIDS. These people are at particular risk of tuberculosis infection and active tuberculosis disease. One third of deaths of those who are HIV-positive are TB related. Those with HIV are 100 times more likely to develop TB than other members of the population. Other people who are at risk from the disease include those with diabetes, the malnourished, alcoholics, and IV drug users\n \n(2) Increase in number of homeless individuals (poor environment and poor nutrition). Most of those infected (90%) have asymptomatic latent TB infection (LTBI). There is a 10% lifetime chance that LTBI will progress to TB disease which, if left untreated, will kill more than 50% of its victims. TB is one of the top four infectious killing diseases in the world: TB kills 1.7 million, and malaria kills 2-3 million.\n\n(3) The appearance of drug-resistant strains of TB. Multiple drug resistant strains of TB (MDR-TB) and Extreme Drug-Resistance in Tuberculosis (XDR-TB) are emerging. The World Health Organization declared TB a global health emergency in 1993, and the Stop TB Partnership proposed a Global Plan to Stop Tuberculosis which aims to save an additional 14 million lives between 2006 and 2015. The development of drug resistant strains now affect up to 50 million people. These strains can be created by bad medical practice such as over-prescribing antibiotics or patients not taking the drugs long enough to get rid of the disease. Instead this encourages the bacteria to become tougher. Treating patients with drug resistant TB is beyond the pocket of many developing countries. The cost of treatment can rise from $2000 per patient with non-resistant TB to $250,000 for multi-drug resistant TB. The multi drug resistant strains are often fatal and have mortality rates that are comparable with those which existed before the development of antibiotics. \n\n(4) Immigration. Some experts also blame lax public health procedures at immigration control for the rise in TB in developed countries. Visitors arriving from less developed countries where TB is more prevalent may get little medical attention even if they admit to having the disease. Among black Africans in Britain TB rose by over 100% between the end of the 1980s and early 1990s. \nThus for preventing TB, co-ordinated effort of skilled professionals, financial support of national governments and of the world community at large are desirable.\nPlease see the webpages for more details on Tuberculosis.
