The most well known one is mycobacterium tuberculosis, also just called TB.

最著名的是结核分枝杆菌，也缩写成TB。

If so, mycobacterium tuberculosis will reproduce inside those macrophages, and form colonies in the surrounding lung tissue.

这时结核杆菌会在巨噬细胞内繁殖，并在周边组织中形成菌落。

Finally, there's mycobacteria which are slow-growing like fungi, hence the " myco" in their name even though they're still bacteria.

最后，还有分支杆菌，像真菌一样生长缓慢，因此名字中有“myco”（真菌），尽管它们仍然是细菌。

Certain types of mycobacteria can also lurk in hot tub water.

某些类型的分枝杆菌也可以潜伏在热水浴缸中。

Many people with AIDS die from infections that a healthy immune system would typically be able to fend off, like pneumocystis, cytomegalovirus, or mycobacterium avium complex.

许多艾滋病患者死于原本健康的免疫系统本可抵抗的感染，比如卡氏肺孢子菌、巨细胞病毒或鸟分枝杆菌复合物。
