While most cases of TB can be treated with antibiotics, some strains have developed drug resistance that makes their treatment more expensive, more toxic and less effective for the patient. The IOM Forum on Drug Discovery, Development, and Translation and the Academy of Science of South Africa held a workshop to discuss ways to fight the growing threat of drug-resistant TB."--Publisher's website.Multidrug-resistant tuberculosisPreventionSouth AfricaCongressesTuberculosisSouth AfricaCongressesDrug resistanceCongressesMultidrug-resistant tuberculosisPreventionTuberculosisDrug resistanceClaiborne Anne B1805914Lebovitz Yeonwoo1807991Olson Steve1956-488724Institute of Medicine (U.S.).Forum on Drug Discovery, Development, and Translation.Academy of Science of South Africa.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910972276903321The emerging threat of drug-resistant tuberculosis in southern Africa4358020UNINA
