+ Antibiotic resistance, Examples, TB: Genetics :: Evolutionary biology :: Infectious diseases :: Antibiotics
  * Tuberculosis, or TB for short, is an infectious disease caused by bacteria. It is caused by various types of mycobacteria, usually 'Mycobacterium tuberculosis'. The disease usually attacks the lungs, but it can also affect other parts of the body. The pathogen can travel through the air, and spread from one person to the next. Experts believe that one third of the world population is infected with 'M. tuberculosis'. New infections occur at a rate of one per second.
+ Tuberculosis, Prevalence: Diseases caused by bacteria :: Pulmonology
  * Experts believe that one third of the world population is infected with 'M. tuberculosis'. New infections occur at a rate of one per second. In 2007, about 13.7 million chronic cases were active globally. The number of tuberculosis cases has been decreasing since 2006, and new cases have decreased since 2002.

Nosocomial infection

  - significant health care problem
* are hospital-acquired infections, usually discovered during hospitalization
* cause significant patient morbidity and mortality.
* increase patient illness and the length of hospital stays.

Parasite infection
* are common in underdeveloped countries.
* can cause skin illnesses.
* develop slowly and are difficult to eradicate completely.
