Example of Pathogenic bacteria

4. Mycobacterium leprae This causes mainly leprosy This diseases shows no symptoms but after it is spread out it shows fever, weight loss, fatigue, loss of appetite, and cough This usually resolves on its own as a child develops immunity over a 6- to 10-week period. But sometimes it can progress and spread all over the lungs or to other organs Prevention avoiding contact with those who have the active disease using medications as a preventive measure in high-risk cases maintaining good living standards Example of Pathogenic bacteria

5.

6.
