A member asked:
How to disinfect phones, remotes, tabletops etc when infected with tuberculosis bacteria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No risk, no worry: People never catch TB by contact with phones, remote controllers, tabletops, or other contaminated surfaces. It is transmitted only through the air when the infected person coughts. Just use any standard household cleaner then don't worry about it.
