Which among the following species causes tuberculosis?
Answer: C
Correct answer: Mycobacterium bovis
M. bovis causes tuberculosis in cattle and, through unpasteurised milk, in humans, where it classically produces intestinal and cervical lymph node disease as well as pulmonary tuberculosis indistinguishable from that caused by M. tuberculosis. It is a member of the M. tuberculosis complex, and the BCG vaccine is an attenuated strain of it. M. leprae causes leprosy, M. ulcerans the Buruli ulcer, and M. kansasii an opportunistic lung disease resembling but distinct from tuberculosis.
