Summary
Since the time of years following World War II, tuberculosis (TB) has become a treatable disease due to the discovery of antibiotics such as streptomycin. But now, TB has poised to make a dramatic and deadly comeback again owing to the emergence of some drug-resistant (DR) strains, including multidrug-resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR), and totally drug-resistant (TDR) strains. Health professionals are alarmed that these TB strains are so virulent that they are called “virtually untreatable” even with the most potent anti-TB drugs available. Inappropriate TB practice conducted, mainly in develo** countries, is considered the main reason behind DR. These malpractices include inadequate treatment of TB patients due to incorrect drug combinations, insufficient dose irregularities, or poor adherence. Consequently, both public and non-public sectors contribute to DR-TB. The current chapter sheds light on various DR mechanisms that hinder effective treatment with existing anti-TB drugs. Multiple strategies to overcome the problem of DR-TB have also been discussed. The chapter provides recent updates on newly developed drugs, clinical trials in the pipeline, and international recommendations to manage resistance. This information is essential for develo** a more effective therapy that is potent against DR-TB and can shorten the antibiotic course required for both drug-susceptible TB and DR-TB.
