Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mycobacterium tuberculosis does not produce endospores. It is able to persist and spread in aerosols due to its ability to form small, airborne droplet nuclei that can remain suspended in the air for extended periods of time. These droplets can be inhaled by individuals, leading to the spread of the bacterium.
