Tuberculosis: cough cough cough ...... cough cough cough ...... The voice from hell, this great god is rampant in the world.

Leprosy, AIDS, Influenza, Hepatitis B, Pertussis, Measles, Typhoid, Renal Syndrome Hemorrhage, Plague, Cholera, Zika, Ebola, Malaria, Hepatitis A, Schistosomiasis, Streptococcus suis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Haemophilus influenzae, Mycoplasma, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus
AIDS: I'll go! Where's the big god?
Flu returns to AIDS: Tuberculosis has a long history and is considered an old god.
Leprosy: Tuberculosis, like me, goes back to human origins.
Tuberculosis replies to leprosy: Well, leprosy and I are brothers, we are all in the mycobacterial family.
AIDS: Mycobacteria, it's a big guy.
The flu responds to AIDS: their bacteria are much larger than ours, not by an order of magnitude.
AIDS Responds to Flu: I know that although the bacteria are big, they are not as big as our viruses.
Hepatitis B: Yes, yes, the fatality rate of our Ebola brothers in the virus community can reach more than 90%, and the number of people who die from influenza every year is also a huge number.
Cholera: Humph! The virus world is too arrogant.
Plague reverts to cholera: The virus world has arrogant capital, since the invention of antibiotics by humans, our bacterial world has been curbed badly.
Tuberculosis returns to the plague: I have a deep experience, I think that back then, my tuberculosis was also rampant all over the world, but since the invention of antibiotics by human beings, and a combination therapy against me, I have almost disappeared for a period of time.
Leprosy: I'm also suffering from antibiotics, and I'm now almost extinct in the world, and I can only hide in armadillos, red squirrels, orangutans, monkeys, and other animals.
Tuberculosis reverts to leprosy: Big brother hemp, don't be discouraged, I recently found a way to evade antibiotics - mutations. I was able to evolve a brother who was resistant to all kinds of antibiotics – drug-resistant strains!
Leprosy: drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis? It's like Super Saiyan! Well, that's a good idea, and I need to work in that direction.
AIDS: Super Saiyan? Curious! Tuberculosis autobiography posted up.
Tuberculosis: Here is my autobiography.
My name is tuberculosis.
It's the name humans have given me.
A long time ago, humans also called me "tuberculosis".
My real body is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, an elongated, slightly curved bacillus.
I have been on Earth for a long time.
I've traveled the globe.
I'm not athletic and I'm very lazy.
The "lazy" here refers to my slow growth.
The brothers in the bacterial world generally reproduce a generation in a few minutes or tens of minutes, but it takes me more than ten hours to reproduce a generation.
Although I am lazy, once I enter the human body, the pathogenicity is still very strong.
I can infect all organs in the human body, especially the lungs.
I can spread it through the air.
When an infected person coughs, sneezes, or spits, spits, I can get into the air.
When humans inhale this air, they get infected by me.
I enter the host human cell and multiply in large numbers, causing immune damage.
In the early stages of infection, humans cough up sputum, sometimes bloody sputum.
At the same time, fever, night sweats, weight loss, weakness, chest pain......
In addition to tuberculosis, I also have cerebral tuberculosis, renal tuberculosis, intestinal tuberculosis...... Various performances.
If left untreated, my fatality rate was 100%.
Later, humans invented antibiotics and used combination therapy against me.
The scale of my epidemic was curbed, and my lethality rate was reduced very low.
I was very depressed at one point.
But I realized the advantages of being a bacterium.
I'm lazy, but I'm a mutant person.
I was able to break through the human antibiotic maze and evolve resistant strains.
The more humans don't take their medications on time, the more likely my drug-resistant strain brethren is to appear.
In the long run, the time will soon come for me to walk on the earth again.
AIDS: Once 100% fatality? Blown, right?
Tuberculosis reverts to AIDS: No, no, no, I didn't brag, before humans invented antibiotics, once I was infected, the human immune system and various cells would slowly be attacked by me, and although I could continue to live for years or even decades, I would still die in the end, so I was incurable at that time.
Influenza: Tuberculosis is a chronic disease.
AIDS: It turns out that it is similar to my little Ai, which is a chronic disease and likes to attack the human immune system.
Tuberculosis Responds to AIDS: We have different pathogenic mechanisms, and I am completely different from you.
AIDS Returns to Tuberculosis: Humph! I don't want to be like you, a guy who is about to be wiped out by antibiotics!
