Drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB)

Drug-resistant tuberculosis is a tuberculous infection caused by infectious bacteria resistant to treatment with first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. Insufficient medication administration is the main cause of drug resistance. Some infectious tuberculosis bacteria are also resistant to second-line drugs, known as TB extensively resistant to drugs. At the beginning of treatment with antibiotics, some strains of the tuberculosis bacteria produced resistance to specific drugs through genetic changes. Multi-drug resistance requires second-line drugs, which are less effective and more active. 9% of MDR-TB are resistant to one of the group's drugs under XDR-TB. The increase in the level of resistance in the tuberculosis strain causes complications for public health in the control of tuberculosis.
