It is the second greatest killer due to a single infectious agent worldwide, and in 2012, 1.3 million people died from the disease, with 8.6 million falling ill. The Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium causes TB. It is spread through the air from person to person, when people with TB affecting the lungs cough, sneeze, spit, laugh or talk. TB is contagious, but it is not easy to catch. Tuberculosis (in the lungs) is contagious. It spreads when a person who has active tuberculosis symptom and causes breathes out air that has the TB bacteria in it and then another person breathes in the bacteria from the air.
