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.
