Drug resistance among Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains isolated in Taiwan during 1975. 1977

K H Hsu, and T H Ueng, and S T Hsu

455 strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were isolated from patients with history of treatment in Taiwan Provincial Tuberculosis Control Bureau and tested for resistance against various antituberculosis agents including streptomycin (SM), paraaminosalicylic acid (PAS), isoniazid (INH), cycloserine (CS), prothionamide (1321TH), kanamycin (KM), ethambutol (EMB), and rifampicin (RFP). In vitro resistance to SM and INH was more frequently found than others and the resistance to a single drug was more common than multiple resistance.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009169	Mycobacterium tuberculosis	A species of gram-positive, aerobic bacteria that produces TUBERCULOSIS in humans, other primates, CATTLE; DOGS; and some other animals which have contact with humans. Growth tends to be in serpentine, cordlike masses in which the bacilli show a parallel orientation.	Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv
D004352	Drug Resistance, Microbial	The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS).

D000995	Antitubercular Agents	Drugs used in the treatment of tuberculosis. They are divided into two main classes: "first-line" agents, those with the greatest efficacy and acceptable degrees of toxicity used successfully in the great majority of cases; and "second-line" drugs used in drug-resistant cases or those in which some other patient-related condition has compromised the effectiveness of primary therapy.
