Details

• Alternative Title:
  Drug-resistant tuberculosis
• Corporate Authors:
  National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (U.S.). Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion.
• Description:
  In most cases, tuberculosis (TB) is treatable and curable, but sometimes TB bacteria become resistant to the drugs used to treat the disease. This means the drugs can no longer kill the bacteria. Drug-resistant TB can occur when the drugs used to treat TB are misused or mismanaged.
  
  Two ways CDC’s Initiative will fight drug-resistant TB: Help people with TB; Reduce spread of TB in the U.S.
  
  TB is a serious threat: Top 10 cause of death in the world; Drug-resistant TB; TB travels to the U.S.
