The emergence and spread of M. tuberculosis multidrug-resistant (MDR-TB), extensively drug-resistant (XDR-TB) and, more recently, totally drug-resistant (TDR) strains is a an extremely dangerous threat to public health, in particular to immunocompromised patients. Hence, there is a great need for new drugs that provide shorter, safer, cheaper and more effective treatment alternatives for active and latent TB infection, MDR and XDR-TB, and that have minimal interactions with antiretroviral drugs.

Abstract

The emergence and spread of M. tuberculosis multidrug-resistant (MDR-TB), extensively drug-resistant (XDR-TB) and, more recently, totally drug-resistant (TDR) strains is a an extremely dangerous threat to public health, in particular to immunocompromised patients. Hence, there is a great need for new drugs that provide shorter, safer, cheaper and more effective treatment alternatives for active and latent TB infection, MDR and XDR-TB, and that have minimal interactions with antiretroviral drugs.

Tuberculosis: Risk Factors, Drug Resistance and Treatment
Several authors
Microbiology covers the biology and biochemistry of microorganisms, bacterial, viral, and parasitic, as well as the medical implications and treatments of the subset of these organisms known to cause disease in humans and/or animals. Biotechnology applications of microorganisms for basic science or clinical use are also covered. Resources that emphasize immune response to pathogens and its modulation by clinical intervention are excluded and are covered in the Immunology category.
