Igitunu
Igituntu  ni indwara yandura ikunze guterwa na bagiteri ya Mycobacterium igituntu (MTB).  Igituntu muri rusange gifata ibihaha, ariko gishobora no gufata ibindi bice byumubiri.  Indwara nyinshi ntizigaragaza ibimenyetso, muricyo gihe izwi nkigituntu cyihishe .  Hafi ya 10% yanduye yihishe itera indwara zikomeye iyo zitavuwe, zica hafi kimwe cya kabiri cyabanduye.  Ibimenyetso bisanzwe byigituntu gikora ni inkorora idakira hamwe na mucus irimo amaraso, umuriro, ibyuya nijoro, no kugabanya ibiro .  Mu mateka yavuzweho kurya kubera gutakaza ibiro bifitanye isano n'indwara.  Kwanduza izindi ngingo birashobora gutera ibimenyetso byinshi.

Irwara yigitunu Mu Rwanda 

Kwagura no kuzamura uburyo bwo kuvura butaziguye Amasomo magufi (DOTS) mu ngingo esheshatu zo guhagarika igituntu (TB) zasobanuwe na Laserson na Wells zashyizwe mu bikorwa mu Rwanda na gahunda ihuriweho na minisiteri y’ubuzima gahunda yo kurwanya ibibembe n’igituntu kuva mu 1990. Ibi byatumye ibipimo byo gutsinda bivura biva kuri 58% (2003) bigera kuri 81% mu mpera za 2006. Mu 2005, ijanisha ryo kwandura igituntu ryari 24%, rikaba riri munsi y’intego yo gutahura indwara.

Mycobacteria 
mpamvu nyamukuru itera igituntu ni Mycobacterium igituntu (MTB), bacillus ntoya, aerobic, idafite moteri.  Ibinini byinshi bya lipide biri muri iyi virusi bitera byinshi mubiranga ivuriro.  Igabanya buri masaha 16 kugeza kuri 20, nigipimo cyihuta cyane ugereranije nizindi bagiteri, ubusanzwe zigabanywa mugihe kitarenze isaha.  Mycobacteria ifite membrane yo hanze lipid bilayeri.  Niba ikaramu ya Gram ikozwe, MTB ishobora kuba ifite intege nke "Gram-positif" cyangwa ntigumana irangi bitewe na lipide nyinshi hamwe na aside mycolike yo murukuta rwayo.  MTB irashobora kwihanganira imiti yica udukoko kandi ikabaho mugihe cyicyumweru . Muri kamere, bagiteri irashobora gukura gusa mu ngirabuzimafatizo y’ibinyabuzima , ariko M. igituntu gishobora guterwa muri laboratoire .
