Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli in bio-aerosols from untreated TB patients

2018-06-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> : Tuberculosis (TB) is predominantly an airborne disease. However, quantitative and qualitative analysis of bio-aerosols containing the aetiological agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) , has proven very challenging. Our objective is to sample bio-aerosols from newly diagnosed TB patients for detection and enumeration of Mtb bacilli. <h4>Methods: </h4> : We monitored each of 35 newly di...
