Many cases of TB can be cured by available antibiotics, but some TB is resistant to multiple drugs--a major and growing threat worldwide. The Institute of Medicine's Forum on Drug Discovery, Development, and Translation hosted a workshop on November 5, 2008, to address the mounting concern of drug-resistant TB. The session brought together a wide range of international experts to discuss what is known and not known about this growing threat, and to explore possible solutions."--Publisher's website.Multidrug-resistant tuberculosisCongressesTuberculosisCongressesDrug resistanceCongressesAntitubercular agentsCongressesMultidrug-resistant tuberculosisTuberculosisDrug resistanceAntitubercular agents616.9Giffin Robert B1510132Robinson Sally620917Institute of Medicine (U.S.).Forum on Drug Discovery, Development, and Translation.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781187903321Addressing the threat of drug-resistant tuberculosis3742454UNINA
