A student is asked to identify which pathogen is causing a patient infection. The student conducts a Gram stain and determines th organism does not staining very well. Assuming the organism produces mycolic acid, an Acid fast stain is performed and the studen determines that the organism is Acid fast positive. Which pathogen does this describe? O Clostridium botulinum O Prion O Haemophilus influenza O Mycobacterium tuberculosis
