Genome is the total genetic information present in an organism. The size of genetic material of mycobacterium is 4 million base pairs, with 3959 genes. The mycobacterial tuberculosis genome sequence was done in 1998. A single strain genome is named as H37Rv. Genitourinary system is the most common extrapulmonary site after lymph node involvement affected by tuberculosis (TB). TB can affect whole male genital organs; epididymis, testis, prostate, seminal vesicle, vas deferens, scrotal skin, bulbourethral glands and penis. Although male genital TB (MGTB) is reported rarely in the literature, most of the cases are overlooked.
