Treatment of tuberculosis in a region with high drug resistance: outcomes, drug resistance amplification and re-infection.

<h4>Introduction</h4>Emerging antituberculosis drug resistance is a serious threat for tuberculosis (TB) control, especially in Eastern European countries.<h4>Methods</h4>We combined drug susceptibility results and molecular strain typing data with treatment outcome reports t...
