Abstract:

The prevention and control of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is of great significance for tuberculosis (TB) prevention and control, and has become a difficult and hot issue in the TB prevention and control field. Early detection of MDR-TB by conducting drug susceptible test can improve the treatment success rate of MDR-TB patients. The diagnostic methods of MDR-TB include traditional culture methods and new molecular biological diagnostic methods. The author did a literature review to the diagnostic methods of MDR-TB and hope it could provide more scientific evidences for MDR-TB prevention and treatment.
