The tuberculosis adisease of what?
Tuberculosis (TB) is a caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, and spread person to person through the air.
Does mycobacterium tuberculosis produce an exotoxin?
No, Mycobacterium tuberculosis does not produce exotoxins. It mainly causes disease through its cell wall components and induces an inflammatory response in the host.
How can you get bacteria Tuberculosis?
Tuberculosis is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. You can get infected by inhaling the bacteria or through contact with contaminated surfaces. Being in close contact with someone with active TB disease increases the risk of transmission.
What causes tuberculous?
Tuberculosis usually attacks the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body. It is spread through the air, when people who have the disease cough, sneeze, or spit.

How do you get TB?
Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes, and someone else inhales the bacteria. Close and prolonged contact with an infected person is usually required for transmission to occur.
Is tuberculosis airborne?
The cause of tuberculosis is the infectious agent called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This is an aerobic bacterium that does need oxygen or air to survive.
Where do mycobacterium tuberculosis come from?
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is primarily transmitted through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, releasing tiny droplets containing the bacteria. The bacteria originate from humans, as it is a pathogen that specifically affects humans and some primates. Environmental sources are not a significant factor in its transmission. Once inhaled, the bacteria can establish infection in the lungs and potentially spread to other parts of the body.
Is PTb can be transmitted through saliva?
Yes, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the bacterium that causes tuberculosis or TB) can be present in saliva, but it is primarily transmitted through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes, releasing respiratory droplets. While saliva may contain the bacteria, the main mode of transmission is respiratory rather than through direct contact with saliva. It’s important to focus on airborne transmission as the primary concern for TB spread.
What are the diseases caused by droplet infection?
Diseases caused by droplet infection include influenza, COVID-19, measles, and whooping cough. Droplet transmission occurs when respiratory droplets from an infected person are expelled through coughing, sneezing, or talking, and are inhaled by a person nearby.
Does the temperature changing affect tuberculosis?
Yes, temperature changes can affect the transmission and survival of tuberculosis (TB) bacteria, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Cooler temperatures may facilitate the survival of the bacteria in the environment, increasing the likelihood of transmission. Additionally, seasonal variations can influence immune responses in humans, potentially affecting susceptibility to infection. However, TB is primarily transmitted through airborne particles rather than environmental temperature fluctuations.
How does tuberculosis transfer?
If you mean how it can "transfer" from person to person. It's through droplet spread, (e.g. when a person with PTB sneezes, coughs, on you, etc)
What is the medical term meaning inhalation transmission?
Airborne or droplet transmission are commonly used to describe infections that are spread through inhalation.
