Ever wondered why some tuberculosis treatments fail to be effective? This video explores the crucial factors that contribute to drug resistance in TB, a significant global health challenge. In this video, you'll learn: ► How inconsistent medication adherence by patients can lead to treatment failure. ► The role of incorrect prescribing practices and inadequate treatment regimens in fostering resistance. ► The impact of poor drug quality or interrupted supply on the development of drug-resistant TB strains. ► Understanding the genetic mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis that render standard drugs ineffective. ► The challenges associated with the transmission of already drug-resistant TB strains within communities. #TBDrugResistance, #Tuberculosis, #DrugResistance, #PublicHealth, #InfectiousDiseases, #MedicalEducation, #GlobalHealth
