Since there seems to be some confusion....

Tubercle bacillus (Med.), a minute vegetable organism
(Mycobacterium tuberculosis, formerly Bacillus tuberculosis
, and also called Koch\'s bacillus)
discovered by Koch, a German physician, in the sputum of
consumptive patients and in tuberculous tissue. It is the
causative agent of tuberculosis.
[1913 Webster +PJC]
On ...Pasteur, nice French site, they collaborate with Sanger in the UK -as they say in the same site- which of course gives \"tubercle bacillus\"

In the past it was believed that the human tubercle bacillus, ...
http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Info/Press/020301.shtml
...on what is common and what not so ...common, 954 hits on \"tuberculosis bacillus\" old nm., as can be seen form the Webster\'s entry anyway...
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls...
and 18,600 hits (!) on \"tubercle bacillus\"
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2005-06...
..on \"Koch\'s bacillus\", which is not used that much ... 689 hits
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2005-06... and on whether \"mycobacterium tuberculosis\" is the \"proper name\" although I had already given the link from the start, an extract from Dorland\'s:

http://www.merckmedicus.com/pp/us/hcp/thcp_dorlands_content.... ppdocs/us/common/dorlands/dorland/dmd-t-041.htm

The same reference is given by Pasteur, if one actually scrolls down.
Also, without more context, it could be a reference to either Mycobacterium tuberculosis or M. bovis./human or bovine


And a \"suitable\" link, illustrating all of the above...
