Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a global health crisis. This review covers MDR-TB epidemiology, resistance mechanisms, and treatment strategies, including novel therapies.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) poses a significant global health threat.
  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects approximately 2 billion people, causing millions of new cases and tens of thousands of deaths annually.
  • Drug resistance in tuberculosis can be acquired or develop during treatment due to non-compliance or inadequate regimens.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the epidemiology of tuberculosis and drug resistance.
  • To discuss the likelihood and molecular mechanisms of resistance development.
  • To present principles for preventing nosocomial transmission and treatment approaches for MDR-TB.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of tuberculosis epidemiology and drug resistance.

  • Discussion of molecular mechanisms of drug resistance.
  • Analysis of prevention strategies, treatment options, and novel therapies for MDR-TB.

    • Main Results:

    • Drug resistance can be acquired or develop during treatment.
    • Molecular mechanisms underlying resistance to various drugs are elucidated.
    • Prevention of nosocomial transmission and effective treatment regimens are crucial.

    Conclusions:

    • MDR-TB requires comprehensive strategies for prevention and treatment.
    • Novel therapeutic approaches, including phenothiazines and suicide genes, show potential.
    • Addressing patient compliance and treatment adequacy is vital to combatting MDR-TB.
