Yes, the organism that causes tuberculosis (TB), Mycobacterium tuberculosis, can be spread through the air when an infected person coughs, laughs, or even talks. These actions release tiny droplets containing the bacteria, which can be inhaled by others nearby. However, TB is primarily transmitted in prolonged close contact situations rather than through casual interactions. Proper ventilation and hygiene practices can help reduce the risk of transmission.
