Extensively drug-resistant TB

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) no longer can be cured by the leading TB antibiotics isoniazid (2) and rifampicin (3). Extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) is a form of TB caused by organisms that are resistant to isoniazid (2) and rifampicin (3), as well as fluoroquinolones such as ciprofloxacin (7), and ofloxacin (8) and any of the second-line anti-TB injectable drugs such as amikacin, kanamycin, or capreomycin. [Pg.84]
