''Mycobacterium tuberculosis'' resides in the lungs of a host and upon becoming active, results in symptoms such as chest pains, weakness, and intense coughing. Left untreated and unmanaged, TB can lead to death (1.5 million in 2013). The disease has a high co-morbidity with HIV/AIDS due to its immunocompromising tendencies.
