23 Summary of the differentially expressed MDR tuberculosis RNA transcripts between Aerosol and Sputum There are strong indications that aerosol is not simply a sample of sputum Human cough aerosol captured and RNA preserved within seconds has permitted a glimpse at gene expression changes associated with a tuberculosis phenotype free of culture artifacts. Tuberculosis present in aerosol shows significantly different gene expression from those in contemporaneously sampled sputum and different still from cultures from the same patient. This has implications for understanding the basics of transmission, vaccine development, and response to treatment.
