Scientific Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Biology - Diseases, Health, Nutrition, language: English, abstract: In this review, the drugs used to treat tuberculosis, which is classified into the first line and second line drugs, the mechanisms of drugs resistance and the diagnosis of tuberculosis will be discussed. Tuberculosis (TB) has been one of the most serious public health problems in the world. Although many years of hard work by World Health Organization and different countries over the tuberculosis control programs, TB remains one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide. The control programs are greatly hampered with the emergence of multidrug resistance tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and severe forms of drug resistance like extensively drug resistance tuberculosis (XDR-TB). In 2015, 10.4 million people were infected with tuberculosis while 1.8 million people were killed.
