With the worldwide emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), there are serious concerns about the continued ability to contain this disease. We discuss the most promising new drugs in late-stage development that might be useful in treating MDR and XDR forms of the disease. These agents have novel mechanisms of action that are not targeted by the standard drugs used presently to treat susceptible strains.
随着全球耐多药(MDR)和广泛耐药(XDR)结核分枝杆菌(Mtb)菌株的出现,人们严重担心能否继续控制这种疾病。我们讨论了处于后期开发阶段的最有前途的新药,这些药物可能对治疗 MDR 和 XDR 形式的疾病有用。这些药物具有新颖的作用机制,目前用于治疗敏感菌株的标准药物并未针对这些机制。
