Abstract

Drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is a major contributor to global cases of antimicrobial resistance and remains a public health challenge. To understand the extent and trend of DR-TB under an enhanced multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) management program, we conducted a population-based retrospective study of 1511 Taiwanese MDR-TB cases reported from 2008 to 2019.
