Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis and Extensively Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2015
The continuing spread of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most urgent and difficult challenges facing global TB control. Patients who are infected with strains resistant to isoniazid and rifampicin, called multidrug-resistant (MDR) TB, are practically incurable by standard first-line treatment.
