Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection caused by species of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB, MTB) complex. A drug resistant strain is defined as resistance to at least one primary drug used to treat tuberculosis. A multidrug resistant TB (MDR-TB) is defined as resistance to at least isoniazid and rifampicin, the two most effective anti-TB drugs, and an extensively drug resistant TB (XDR-TB) is defined as a MDR-TB strain with additional resistance to any fluoroquinolone and at least one additional Group A drug. In 2022, it was estimated that approximately 4% of incident new TB cases in the world had MDR/RR-TB1. The frequency of MDR-TB varies according to region and is higher among previously treated patients.
