Species code:	MYCTU
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Actinobacteridae; Actinomycetales; Corynebacterineae; Mycobacteriaceae; Mycobacterium; Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (TaxID: 1773) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Acid-fast, obligate aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It is responsible for tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is, to this day, according to the WHO, the leading killer of adults. This is especially the case in HIV-positive individuals. Drug resistant strains are emerging mainly because people do not complete their treatment plans or have been incorrectly treated and so have remained infectious.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: No Interaction: Animal pathogen in Mammalia Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins: 3 in 3 different sequences
Statistics:	Number of MYCTU entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 3948 (1438 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 2510 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)

Genome structure:	Chromosome EMBL accession number AL123456 (circular; 4,411,532 bp) (download entry) (download Genome Reviews).
