Antibiotic Resistance of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis; Mechanisms and Specific Therapeutic Response

Abstract: Although epidemiologic indicators of tuberculosis (TB) are rapidly improving in Romania, the disease remains a high priority of the public health. In the last years, the World Health Organization (WHO) has paid particular attention to the phenomenon of multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), which Romania is not exempt from. As an endemic, TB has a long history. In the evolution of this disease, the etiological treatment had a later appearance, but the drug resistance phenomenon, acting as selection pressor… Show more

“…Although a vaccine against the disease exists, it is of varying efficiency [ 250 ] and has proven incapable of stopping the global epidemic [ 251 ]. While there exist antibiotics effective against tuberculosis during the last few years, the increase in antibiotic resistance of M. tuberculosis has led to the emergence of multi (MDR) [ 252 ], extensively (XDR), extremely (XXDR) and total (TDR) drug-resistant strains; these are estimated to kill about 75 · 10 6 people, in the next three decades [ 253 ]. Although resistance-conferring mutations may reduce the overall fitness of the bacteria, it has been suggested by [ 254 , 255 , 256 ] that the resistant bacteria may find ways to circumvent this limitation.…”
