Experimental system generates aerosol concentrations of Mycobacterium tuberculosis comparable to human cough, revealing infection dynamics.

Mtb aerosol concentrations from the TSS correlate with human cough better than traditional methods, allowing for improved study of transmission.
Inhalation of low doses of Mtb via the TSS resulted in effective deposition in murine lungs, optimizing infection modeling.
The TSS demonstrates a relationship between Mtb concentration and infection rate, highlighting its utility for precise transmission studies.
This new approach mirrors the aerosol characteristics of tuberculosis patient coughs, enhancing the relevance of experimental findings.

Nuritdinov et al. (2025) studied this question.
