From Binet's work the IQ scale called the Binet Scale, (and later the Simon-Binet Scale) was developed. Sometime later, intelligence quotient, or IQ, entered our vocabulary.
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that usually attacks the lungs, but can attack almost any part of the body. Tuberculosis is spread from person to person through the air. When a person with TB in their lungs or throat coughs, laughs, sneezes, sings, or even talks, the germs that cause TB may spread through the air.
TB is an airborne disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. (M. tuberculosis). M. tuberculosis and seven very closely related mycobacterial species (M. bovis, M. africanum, M. microti, M. caprae, M. pinnipedii, M. canetti and M. mungi) together comprise what is known as the M. tuberculosis complex.. tuberculosis organisms are also called tubercle bacilli.
