What is Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis?

  • Drug-Resistant TB occurs when bacteria become resistant to the drugs used to treat TB. This means that the drug can no longer kill the TB bacteria.

  • Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR TB) is a type of DR-TB where TB bacteria is resistant to both Isoniazid and Rifampicin, the two most potent anti-TB drugs.
