Active tuberculosis (TB) has a greater burden of TB bacilli than latent TB and acts as an infection source for contacts. Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is the state in which humans are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis without any clinical symptoms, radiological abnormality, or microbiological evidence. TB is transmissible by respiratory droplet nucleus of $1-5{\mu}m$ in diameter, containing 1-10 TB bacilli. TB transmission is affected by the strength of the infectious source, infectiousness of TB bacilli, immunoresistance of the host, environmental stresses, and biosocial factors. Infection controls to reduce TB transmission consist of managerial activities, administrative control, engineering control, environmental control, and personal protective equipment provision. However, diagnosis and treatment for LTBI as a national TB control program is an important strategy on the precondition that active TB is not missed. Therefore, more concrete evidences for LTBI management based on clinical and public perspectives are needed.

Laboratory experiments using guinea pigs as quantitative air samplers for human TB in TB wards with six single rooms proved the following five important facts about TB transmission7: (1) TB is a true airborne infection, requiring only air contact for transmission, (2) TB patients vary greatly in infectiousness, (3) infectiousness is rapidly reduced by effective treatment, (4) the average concentration of infectious droplet nuclei is low, and (5) ultraviolet irradiation is a highly effective method of air disinfection.
This review will cover the principles of TB infection and transmis sion from basic and clinical perspectives as well as the broad outlines for TB infection control to reduce TB transmission.
