Tuberculosis is caused by a bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It spreads around with air. When an infected person coughs or sneezes, bacteria gets released from the lungs into the air. So if a healthy person inhales the air with that bacteria, he/she gets infected too. It is not genetic and does not spread around by touch
