WHO estimated that in 2017, 460 000 people developed multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis, defined by bacillary resistance to rifampicin and isoniazid, the two most effective first-line anti-TB drugs. Approximately 8·5% of MDR tuberculosis isolates had additional drug resistance to at least one fluoroquinolone and one of the second-line injectable drugs amikacin, capreomycin and/or kanamycin, which together define extensively-drug resistant (XDR) tuberculosis. |
