Gram stain: Neither AFB+?: AFB+ Spore forming?: No Anaerobic or Aerobic: A Shape: BS Causes: Tuberculosis

### Bacteria: Mycobacterium tuberculosis

## Step1: Identify the Gram Stain### The bacteria is neither Gram-positive nor Gram-negative, indicating it does not retain the crystal violet stain used in the Gram staining method.## Step2: Determine AFB Status### The bacteria is AFB+, meaning it is acid-fast, which is a characteristic of certain bacteria that retain certain stains after being treated with acid-alcohol.## Step3: Check for Spore Forming### The bacteria does not form spores, which is a trait of certain bacteria that can survive in harsh conditions.## Step4: Determine Oxygen Requirement### The bacteria is aerobic, meaning it requires oxygen to survive and grow.## Step5: Identify the Shape### The bacteria is bacillus-shaped, which refers to a rod-like shape.## Step6: Determine the Disease Caused### The bacteria causes tuberculosis, a serious infectious disease that primarily affects the lungs.
