Prevention of the occurrence of new cases of the disease in foci with multiple drug resistance

Mycobacterium multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) poses a serious threat to the control of this disease in many parts of the world. Modern possibilities of controlling this form of the disease are the optimal use of existing drugs, new medicines, as well as drugs that have already been used before, but for other indications, as well as some other therapeutic measures that are not related to the appointment of antibiotics. Preventing the formation and spread of drug-resistant strains will be crucial for global tuberculosis control in the future.
