Face Mask Sampling for the Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Expelled Aerosols

BACKGROUND: Although tuberculosis is transmitted by the airborne route, direct information on the natural output of bacilli into air by source cases is very limited. We sought to address this through sampling of expelled aerosols in face masks that were subsequently analyzed for mycobacterial contam...
