Tuberculosis And The Genetic Basis Of Antibiotic Resistance In Mycobacterium, Marla Dewitt
Presidential Scholars Theses (1990 – 2006)
In a recent study of tuberculosis cases in Texas it was found that while the incidence of tuberculosis is fairly low (compared to developing countries), of the cases reported, almost 10% were resistant to at least one of the four first line drugs (Taylor, 1999). When tuberculosis is diagnosed in a patient, especially one who may have contracted an antibiotic resistant strain, discovery of the type and extent of the resistance is imperative to a successful treatment regimen.
