Hansen's Bacillus (Hansen S Bacillus)

Hansen Bacillus (Hansen S Bacillus) is a species of bacteria that was discovered by the Danish microbiologist Hansen in 1890. These bacteria usually live in soil and water and can cause various diseases in animals and humans.

One of the most well-known diseases caused by Hansen's bacillus is leprosy, a chronic infectious disease that affects the skin, nerves and mucous membranes. Leprosy is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae, which is a member of the genus Mycobacterium, while Hansen's bacillus was previously considered a member of the same genus, but is now classified in the genus Actinobacteria.

In addition to leprosy, Hansen's bacillus can cause other diseases in humans, such as granulomatous conjunctivitis and erysipelas. In animals, these bacteria can cause brucellosis, tuberculosis and other infections.

Antibiotics such as rifampicin, dapsone, and clofazimine are used to treat infections caused by Hansen's bacillus. However, due to the possibility of developing antibiotic resistance, treatment for leprosy can be lengthy and require a combination of several drugs.

Although leprosy is a rare disease in developed countries, it still remains a problem in some regions of the world, especially Africa, Asia and Latin America. The fight against leprosy and other infections caused by Hansen's bacillus remains an important challenge for medicine and society as a whole.

Hansen's bacillus is a bacterium that causes tuberculosis. It was discovered in 1882 by the French scientist Sanderomne Hansen.

Hansen's bacillus is a mycobacterium it is also called Hansen's bacillus. This bacterium is very resistant to environmental factors such as heat and other chemicals.

**How ​​does Hansen's bacillus infection occur?** Hansen's bacillus infection can occur by inhaling dust particles containing bacteria. The bacteria can also be transmitted through contact with surfaces contaminated with sputum residue containing bacteria from the respiratory tract of an ill person. In addition, the bacterium can be transmitted through contaminated food and water. Symptoms of the disease appear 2–3 weeks after infection.

Symptoms of Hansen's bacillus include:

• Cough with green sputum, sometimes streaked with blood.

• Heat

• Decreased appetite
