Detection of Aerosolized <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> DNA From Adults Being Investigated for Pulmonary Tuberculosis via an Electrostatic Sampler in a South African Primary Care Setting
Electrostatic aerosol sampling is feasible in primary care to detect people with infectious tuberculosis. Deployment of this and other practical aerosol-sampling tools might help to characterize predictors of tuberculosis transmission.
