Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of death in the world
today, with 4,500 people dying from the disease every day. Many
cases of TB can be cured by available antibiotics, but some TB is
resistant to multiple drugs-a major and growing threat worldwide.
The Institute of Medicine's Forum on Drug Discovery, Development,
and Translation hosted a workshop on November 5, 2008, to address
the mounting concern of drug-resistant TB. The session brought
together a wide range of international experts to discuss what is
known and not known about this growing threat, and to explore
possible solutions. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary 1
