CHARACTERISTICS AND TRENDS OF PRIMARY DRUG RESISTANCE OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS IN RYAZAN REGION

Abstract

The article is devoted to drug-resistant tuberculosis in the Ryazan region. There is a tendency to the increase of the amount of tubercular patients among women of middle ages. It is stated that in the period from 1999 to 2007 mycobacteria’s structure of drug-resistance has not changed considerably. The exception was a dramatic increase of cases with simultaneous drug-resistance to the four first-line antibiotics. The direct interdependence between the character of drug-resistance and the speed and intensity of tuberculosis microorganisms growth has not been found yet.
