Tuberculosis: drug resistance, fitness, and strategies for global control.

European journal of pediatrics - 1 Feb 2008

Böttger Erik C, Springer Burkhard

Abstract excerpt

Directly observed standardized short-course chemotherapy (DOTS) regimes are an effective treatment for drug susceptible tuberculosis disease. Surprisingly, DOTS has been reported to reduce the transmission of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, and standardized short-course chemotherapy regimens w...
