Anyone know the basic principle? Why does, for example, MTB aerosolize

from the infected host? I presume the MTB-containing micron-scale

droplets said to be emitted during coughing, talking, etc are also

emitted by humans not suffering from tuberculosis, so the question

seems to be how the bugs get into the droplets. Is it a matter of the

bacteria being present extracellularly on the air-exposed side of the

alveolar epithelium?
