From this experiment you might say something about disinfecting air, but the guinea pigs weren't wearing masks. What you are testing, if anything, is the efficacy of "UV-C lamps to kill TB bacilli".
Wearing masks is an entirely different thing, and would need an entirely different test.
Even the original experiment leaves questions for me. How does one diagnose TB in guinea pigs? What health state were the guinea pigs in? Was there a familial predisposition to respiratory illnesses for some of these? What conditions were they kept in? Etc.
