What is Mycrobacterium Fortuitum?

  1. A condition with no symptoms

  2. A microscopic germ that normally exists in tap water

  3. A study of skin tissue structure

  4. A degree burn type

The correct answer is: A condition with no symptoms

Mycobacterium fortuitum is a type of bacteria that is commonly found in tap water. It can cause infections when it enters the skin through cuts or wounds. Infections with Mycobacterium fortuitum typically present with symptoms such as redness, swelling, and pain at the site of infection. Therefore, the correct answer is "A. A microscopic germ that normally exists in tap water." The other options are incorrect because: - Option C, "A study of skin tissue structure," refers to histology which is not related to Mycobacterium fortuitum. - Option D, "A degree burn type," is not relevant to Mycobacterium fortuitum.
