Bacteria that cause TB are usually transmitted by coughs, sneezes, or small particles of moisture sprayed from an infected person's mouth while speaking. These small particles may contain very few bacteria, but if they are inhaled into another person's lungs and multiply, that person may contract TB.
The bacteria may also enter the body through skin wounds, including tattoos and body piercings with unsterilized insturments.

Can pasteurisation make tuberculosis affected milk safe for human consumption?
From Medicine.net "There is a form of atypical tuberculosis, however, that is transmitted by drinking unpasteurized milk. Related bacteria, called Mycobacterium bovis, cause this form of TB. Previously, this type of bacteria was a major cause of TB in children, but it rarely causes TB now since most milk is pasteurized (undergoes a heating process that kills the bacteria)."
How tuberculosis attack?
Tuberculosis, also abbreviated TB, is an infectious disease caused by several types of mycobacteria, specially the mycobacterium tuberculosis that most often - but not always - affect the lungs causing pulmonary tuberculosis. TB can be transmitted from person to person through the air. If the infection spreads beyond the lungs, the symptoms will be determined by the organs affected. Most cases are asymptomatic. TB get worse in people with compromised or weak immune system. There are two types of TB: - Latent TB, which means people have the bacteria but not symptoms and do not transmit the disease. - Active TB, where the symptoms are manifested. First months they can be mild and not easy to recognize without tests. Patients can die if not treated. Cough with sputum and/or blood is typical of lung TB. Source: esagil.org lung.org
