Coli1

Occurs2
  • Sometimes drug-resistant TB occurs when bacteria become resistant to the drugs used to treat TB. (cdc.gov)
  • Antibiotic resistance occurs when targeted bacteria show resistance to an antibiotic, continuing to thrive and multiply, even in the presence of an antibiotic's therapeutic levels. (lifehack.org)
Multi-drug-resis2
  • Disinfectant-resistance is independent from multi-drug-resistance in M. tuberculosis . (biomedcentral.com)

Drugs17
  • And second, TB can become insensitive to the drugs if they're not taken regularly because insufficient dosing gives the tuberculosis bacteria time to mutate, selecting for populations of the bug that can dodge the meds. (waer.org)
  • Drug-resistant TB can occur when the drugs used to treat TB are misused or mismanaged. (cdc.gov)
  • Bacteria can become resistant and no longer respond to these drugs: this phenomenon is known as antibiotic resistance and resistant bacteria. (pasteur.fr)
  • Resistant bacteria no longer respond to these drugs. (pasteur.fr)
