Anti Tuberculosis Drug Resistance

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by bacteria that are spread from person to person by air. TB usually affects the lungs, but it can also affect other parts of the body, such as the brain, kidneys, or spine. In most cases, tuberculosis is treatable and curable; however, people with TB can die if they are not treated properly. Sometimes drug-resistant TB occurs when the bacteria become resistant to the drugs used to treat TB. This means that the drug can no longer kill the TB bacteria. Drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB-DR) spreads in the same way as drug-sensitive tuberculosis. Tuberculosis spreads through the air from person to person. Tuberculosis bacteria are put into the air when a person with pulmonary or throat tuberculosis coughs, sneezes, talks or sings. Nearby people can breathe in these bacteria and become infected.
