Answer #1

Answer: Multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis is condition where infection caused by bacteria becomes resistant to treatment with at least two of the most powerful first-line anti-TB medications (drugs), isoniazid and rifampin. This is dangerous as bacteria becomes resistant to the first line treatment of the drug and bacteria starts to replicate at high speed, which becomes uncontrollable.
