The evolution of extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB): history, status and issues for global control.

Infectious disorders drug targets - 1 Jun 2007

Goldman Robert C, Plumley Kevin V, Laughon Barbara E

Abstract excerpt

Tuberculosis (TB) is a devastating disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that killed an estimated 4000-5000 person each day during 2005. Although infections with drug sensitive strains can be effectively cured with a 6 to 9 month regimen of multiple antibiotics, the inability to deliver and complete appropriate courses of therapy on a global level has led to the selection of resistant strains over the past...
