T.B. Infection Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6206
The T.B. Infection Model from Jaincolab is a three-dimensional teaching model that illustrates how tuberculosis infection develops after exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
It is used in microbiology and medical courses to explain the stages from initial respiratory exposure to latent infection and, in some cases, active disease.
What the Concept States
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Transmission | Spread through inhalation of airborne droplet nuclei containing Mycobacterium tuberculosis |
| Primary Infection | Bacteria reach the alveoli, where macrophages engulf them and form the initial Ghon focus |
| Granuloma Formation | The immune system walls off the bacteria within granulomas, often leading to caseous necrosis at the centre |
| Latent Infection | Bacteria can remain dormant within granulomas for years without causing active symptoms |
| Reactivation | Weakened immunity can allow dormant bacteria to reactivate, leading to secondary (post-primary) tuberculosis |
Key Features
- Illustrates the progression of tuberculosis from exposure to latent or active infection
- Shows granuloma formation and caseous necrosis in the lung
- Explains the difference between latent infection and reactivation disease
- Durable, exam-oriented construction for repeated classroom use
- Compact benchtop format suitable for laboratories and lecture halls

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the T.B. Infection Model demonstrate?
A. It demonstrates how tuberculosis infection develops after exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Q2. How is tuberculosis transmitted?
A. It is transmitted through inhalation of airborne droplet nuclei containing the bacteria.
Q3. What is a Ghon focus?
A. It is the initial site of tuberculosis infection in the lung, formed when macrophages engulf the bacteria.
Q4. What is latent tuberculosis infection?
A. It is a state in which bacteria remain dormant within granulomas for years without causing active symptoms.
Q5. Who uses this model?
A. Microbiology and medical students and faculty use it to study tuberculosis infection and pathogenesis.
