Question 12 How is tuberculosis primarily transmitted? Water Airborne droplets Digestive tract Contact with animals

Tuberculosis is primarily transmitted through airborne droplets. When an individual with active tuberculosis coughs, sneezes, or talks, they release droplets containing the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria into the air. These droplets can be inhaled by people nearby, who may then become infected with tuberculosis. It is important to note that tuberculosis cannot be transmitted through water, the digestive tract, or contact with animals.
