The video sound is pretty good, beyond my imagination

This is a great presentation - thank you. One error - the slide says Mycobacterium spp. are more closely related to Gram negatives, but, as the speaker says, it's actually Gram positives they are more closely related to phylogenetically.

[@jonakessla2928]

it actually says"gram - positive". i guess you confused the " - " with negative.

Thank you for your great work

Good presentation. Just wish it was louder. I'm on full volume and missing some words and phrases sometimes

[@anas-lq4uk]

Thank you so much

[@_jiggy]

very very helpful

Thank you!

Really helpful! Thank you 🙏🏽

This waxy coating would make the bacterium extremely hydrophobic, could that be why tuberculosis damage is found in the lung apices?

[@bilalchelabi5488]

jonstfrancis apical parce-que il est areobie strict et la partie sup de poumon a le plus quantité d'air

MTB is an obligate aerobe. Lungs provide this oxygen rich environment. Also, from an evolutionary point of view, lung infections provide more opportunity for the organism to spread within a population.

The comment about no outer membrane is not entirely correct, it has one with some unique distinctions.
Reference (www.pnas.org/content/111/13/4958).
