Epidemiology
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, shortly as Tubercle bacillus (TB), is the pathogenic bacterium that causes tuberculosis. Currently, the commonly used first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs include isoniazid, rifampicin and ethambutol, etc. The second-line anti-tuberculosis drugs include fluoroquinolones, amikacin and kanamycin, etc. The new developed drugs are linezolid, bedaquiline and delamani, etc. However, due to the incorrect use of anti-tuberculosis drugs and the characteristics of the cell wall structure of mycobacterium tuberculosis, mycobacterium tuberculosis develops drug resistance to anti-tuberculosis drugs, which brings serious challenges to the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis.
