Abstract

The resurgence of tuberculosis from a forgotten disease to a modern and resurgent pathology is a matter of serious global concern. Development and transmission of Multi Drug- Resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) tuberculosis is an important public health problem worldwide. This review covers mainly the therapeutic limitations to treat these resistant disease forms, as well as, the current status of drug discovery and development for anti-tubercular therapy and treatment.
