First-line anti-tuberculosis drug resistance trends of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates. A tertiary hospital study in Turkey.

Conclusions: Monitoring of drug susceptibility test results can contribute to the management of TB treatment and increase treatment success. Isoniazid-resistance and streptomycin-resistance tend to increase in Turkey. Further clinical studies are needed to investigate regional and global factors affecting the development of resistance to first-line TB drugs. PMID: 31414639 [PubMed - in process]
