A Mycobacterium model ready for high definition rendering.

Mycobacterium is a genus of Actinobacteria, given its own family, the Mycobacteriaceae. The genus includes pathogens known to cause serious diseases in mammals, including tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) and leprosy (Mycobacterium leprae). The Latin prefix 'myco—' means both fungus and wax; its use here reflects the 'waxy' compounds that compose parts of the cell wall.
