Mycobacterium Species Model Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : JC-BE-6207
The Mycobacterium Species Model (SKU JC-BE-6207) is a Mycobacterium species model that explains the lipid-rich, mycolic acid cell wall behind the acid-fast staining of this genus. It compares Mycobacterium tuberculosis, spread by respiratory droplets, Mycobacterium leprae, the cause of leprosy that cannot be grown on artificial media, and the opportunistic Mycobacterium avium complex, and notes the slow growth of most species in culture. It serves medical microbiology teaching. JaincoLab manufactures it in Ambala, India.
