Question
Name two methods of control of growth for Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogen in a patient with the disease and when confronted with the pathogen outside of the host. Be careful to specify if it is a physical method or a chemical method (check lecture to differentiate these two). Control of growth means how would you deal with an infection related to a person as well as how would you minimize the presence of the bacteria on a surface or object.

ANSWER: INTRODUCTION

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is transmitted mainly via airborne particles  known as droplet nuclei, which may expelled out when a person affected with this bacteria sneezes, cough. 

Transmission of this disease is highly likely if a person is working or in close contact with the patient suffering from this.

The TB control plan is based on 3 level hierarchy of control measures :

  1. Administrative measures
  2. Environmental measures
  3. Use of respiratory protective measures at individual level
