Abstract:
Microbiological research of 59 patients with extrapulmonary localization tuberculosis was conducted for exposition of tuberculosis mycobacterium. It was determined that the method of microscopy of smear painted by Ziel-Nilsen with preliminary treatment of pathological material in the way of "enrichment" using sodium bicarbonate gives more effective result, than the method of direct microscopy of smear painted according to Ziel-Nilsen. It indicates the possibility to use this method for early diagnostics of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, for exposing mycobacteria at its urinary-sexual location.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
