Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is primarily spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person talks, coughs, or sneezes. Therefore, close and prolonged exposure to an infected person can increase the risk of transmission. Tuberculosis is not transmitted by sexual contact, fecal/oral route, or hand-to-hand contact.
