Aerosolization of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> by tidal breathing

2021-10-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Rationale</h4> Interrupting tuberculosis (TB) transmission requires an improved understanding of how – and when – the causative organism, Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ), is aerosolized. Although Cough is commonly assumed to be the dominant source of Mtb aerosols, recent evidence of Cough-independent Mtb release implies the contribution of alternative mechanisms. <h4>Objective</h4> To compare the aer...
