Which of the following statements about tuberculosis is FALSE?
TB came back to prominence after the emerging of new MDR (multidrug resistant) strains of M. tuberculosis.
O Most people exposed to M. tuberculosis will develop LTBI (latent TB infection).

tests.
The tuberculin skin test is not a good TB screening tool for people who have had the BCG vaccine.
True. What kind of vaccine is the BCG vaccine? What will be the tuberculin test result for someone who has
prior exposure to the pathogen?
