Defamation Law: The Basics. There is always a delicate balance between one person's right to freedom of speech and another's right to protect their good name. It is often difficult to know which personal remarks are proper and which run afoul of defamation law.
What Causes TB. Tuberculosis is an infection caused by bacteria. It's spread through the airâwhen an infected person coughs, sneezes, laughs, etc. However, it is not easy to become infected with tuberculosis. Usually a person has to be close to someone with TB disease for a long period of time.
The bacteria that causes Tuberculosis (TB) is Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Of interest is that M. tuberculosis complex (MTBC) can also cause TB in humans, but is rare. This includes M. bovis, M. africanum, M. canetti and M. microti. Other Mycobacteria such as M. kansasii and M. avium can also cause pulmonary disease. This is different to TB.
