T.B. Infection Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6206
The T.B. Infection Model (SKU JC-BE-6206) is a tuberculosis infection model that follows Mycobacterium tuberculosis from inhaled droplet nuclei to the alveoli, where macrophages take up the bacteria and the Ghon focus forms. It shows granulomas walling off the infection, often with caseous necrosis, the dormant bacteria of latent infection and reactivation as post-primary tuberculosis when immunity weakens. It is used in medical microbiology, pathology and nursing teaching. JaincoLab manufactures it in Ambala, India.
