Drug Resistance Characteristics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates From Patients With Tuberculosis to 12 Antituberculous Drugs in China
Conclusions: In this study, we found higher proportion of MDR/XDR-TB among re-treated cases than initial treated cases in China and the drug resistance rate of tuberculosis varied with age, sex, and region, indicating that standardized anti-tuberculosis treatment can reduce the incidence of drug-resistant tuberculosis and the recurrence of tuberculosis.
