Everybody has the mycobacterium tuberculae bacteria living in his lungs and is responsible for TB. It is said that there are more than a Billion Billion bacteria living on/inside one human compared to nearlly 7B people on the planet. You will get TB if you get very debilitated like so many elderly and people with AIDS. Note: there are Super Bugs causing TB that you can get from someone carrying it which is why people with TB can get put in quarantine
