What is the difference between bacteria and mycobacteria?

Mycobacteria have an outer membrane. They do not have capsules, and most do not form endospores. The distinguishing characteristic of all Mycobacterium species is that the cell wall is thicker than in many other bacteria, which is hydrophobic, waxy, and rich in mycolic acids/mycolates.

Are mycobacteria bacteria?

Mycobacteria are immobile, slow-growing rod-shaped, gram-positive bacteria with high genomic G+C content (61-71%). Due to their special staining characteristics under the microscope, which is mediated by mycolic acid in the cell wall, they are called acid-fast. This is also the reason for the hardiness of mycobacteria.

Is Mycobacterium a fungus or bacteria?

Biopsy of the skin, involved lymph nodes, and lung can be used to diagnose atypical mycobacteria. The tissue obtained can be used for cultures of the tissue and for histopathologic examination.
