Drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis fell from 15.2% in 1980-1984 to 6.5% in 1985-89 in the Indian subcontinent (ISC) ethnic group and remained low in the white ethnic group. Resistance to isoniazid, which is of particular clinical significance, fell from 6.1% in 1980-84 to 2.7% in 1985-1989 in the ISC group. Factors which may affect this trend to reduction are discussed.
在印度次大陆(ISC)族群中,结核分枝杆菌的耐药率从1980 - 1984年的15.2%降至1985 - 1989年的6.5%,而在白种人族群中耐药率一直较低。对具有特殊临床意义的异烟肼的耐药率,在ISC族群中从1980 - 1984年的6.1%降至1985 - 1989年的2.7%。文中讨论了可能影响这一下降趋势的因素。
