Abstract:

Drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) especially multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) are one of the most difficult problems to be solved in clinical practice. Anti-tuberculous drug susceptibility tests (DST) provide experimental basis for the diagnosis of DR-TB. This expert consensus briefly introduces the common M.tuberculosis (MTB) DST methods (including phenotypic DST and molecular DST) used in clinic, proposes the strategies of MTB drug resistance detection and correct interpretation of the results, points out the problems of DST detection technology and clinical application, and prospects the development of DST in the future.
