| Although repeated cultures of blood, sputum, and gastric juice were also negative, Mycobacterium bovis was found in urine samples. |
| They said in healthy people, infection with mycobacterium tuberculosis often causes no symptoms, since the person's immune system acts to wall off the bacteria. |
| They are not sure what the organism is but it may be an atypical mycobacterium, which is peculiar to India. |
| With respect to tuberculosis, Médecins sans Frontières noted that 2 million people die of the disease every year, and that one third of the world's population is infected with mycobacterium tuberculosis. |
| The seven other diseases are brucellosis, campylobacter jejuni, coxiella burnetii, mycobacterium tuberculosis, nontyphoid salmonella, shigella and visceral leishmaniasis. |
| The clinical improvement and resolution of radiographic abnormalities observed in this study suggest that the positive smears are due to nonviable mycobacterium. |
