Tuberculosis bacteria found in 90% of symptomatic individuals not officially diagnosed with TB

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the bacterium responsible for tuberculosis infections, is detectable in the exhaled breath of 90% of individuals with suspected tuberculosis, including those who tested negative on conventional sputum tests and were not diagnosed with TB. This suggests a potential risk of transmission among those who have tested negative.
