Typically, TB bacteria called mycobacterium tuberculosis, are airborne.

导致肺结核的结核杆菌一般是由空气传播的。

" We've discovered that vitamin C kills Mycobacterium tuberculosis cells."

“我们发现维生素 C 能杀死结核分枝杆菌。”

The most well known one is mycobacterium tuberculosis, also just called TB.

最著名的是结核分枝杆菌，也缩写成TB。

Several pathogens have been implicated, like Mycobacterium paratuberculosis as well as Pseudomona and Listeria species.

多种病原体与克罗恩病的发病相关，如副结核分枝杆菌、假单胞菌和李斯特菌属。

If so, mycobacterium tuberculosis will reproduce inside those macrophages, and form colonies in the surrounding lung tissue.

这时结核杆菌会在巨噬细胞内繁殖，并在周边组织中形成菌落。

Now Mycobacterium tuberculosis is usually transmitted via inhalation, which is how they gain entry into the lungs.

结核分枝杆菌的传播途径通常是吸入途径，也就是它们进入人体肺部的方法。

Finally, there's mycobacteria which are slow-growing like fungi, hence the " myco" in their name even though they're still bacteria.

最后，还有分支杆菌，像真菌一样生长缓慢，因此名字中有“myco”（真菌），尽管它们仍然是细菌。

Certain types of mycobacteria can also lurk in hot tub water.

某些类型的分枝杆菌也可以潜伏在热水浴缸中。

These samples can then get sent to the lab for staining, culture, and PCR to look for evidence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

标本被送到实验室去做染色实验、细菌培养以及聚合酶链式反应，来检验TB存在的证明。

TB is tricky though, and once inside the macrophage, they produce a protein that inhibits this fusion, which allows the Mycobacterium to survive.

但是TB也不是省油的灯，一旦进入到巨噬细胞体内，它们就会产生抑制这种融合的蛋白，以此让结核分枝杆菌获得生存。
