Tuberculosis (TB) spreads rapidly in enclosed environments due to the close proximity of individuals, which facilitates the transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis through airborne particles. When an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, the bacteria are released into the air and can remain suspended for hours, increasing the risk of inhalation by others nearby. Poor ventilation and crowded conditions further exacerbate the situation, allowing the bacteria to accumulate and infect multiple individuals in a short time. Additionally, people in these settings may have weakened immune systems, making them more susceptible to infection.
