Mycobacterium Tuberculosis is an aerobic bacteria that is why when a tuberculoma transforms to a cavitatory lesion, the number of bacteria increase to enormus number.If communication between cavity and bronchus is esatablished, then the bacteria coughed out during coughing. Cavitatory pulmonary lesion must be considered sputum +ve until and unless prove otherwise. Always do the microscopy of such patients and even saliva may have bacteria(AFB was detected in saliva of such patient)
