Detailed explanation-1: -TB bacteria spread through the air from one person to another. When a person with TB disease of the lungs or throat coughs, speaks, or sings, TB bacteria can get into the air. People nearby may breathe in these bacteria and become infected.
Detailed explanation-2: -As the destruction of lung tissue becomes worse, the sputum that people with pulmonary TB cough up starts to have blood stains in it – a sign of the tissue destruction and inflammation in the airway. From the first cavitation in the lung tissue, the TB bacilli can spread through the destructed tissue.
Detailed explanation-3: -TB is not spread through sexual intercourse or kissing or other touch. TB bacteria are spread through the air from one person to another. When a person who has TB disease of the lungs or throat coughs, speaks, or sings, TB bacteria are spread in the air.
