The bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis can evolve to subvert the protection offered by immune defenses. This close-up reveals this organism's colonial morphology. Note the colorless rough surface, which are typical morphologic characteristics seen in Mycobacterium tuberculosis colonial growth. Macroscopic examination of colonial growth patterns is still one of the ways microorganisms are often identified.
