No. TB is an air-borne infection caused by bacteria, not a genetic trait. However, TB can be passed from mother to child if the mother has TB in her uterus/vagina (rare), or more commonly, as soon as the baby is born and is breathing shared air with the mother/father.
Even though TB is not inherited, as such, people can be inherently susceptible to the disease. Environmental factors may also have an impact on what actually triggers the infection to become the disease. See "Is Susceptibility To Tuberculosis Acquired or Inherited?" presented by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, U.S. National Library of Medicine (PubMed) for specifics.
