Tuberculosis (TB) is a major infectious disease worldwide.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is a major infectious disease worldwide. Over recent years, TB caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains (resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampicin) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains (MDR strains resistant to any fluoroquinolone and to at least one injectable second-line drug (SLD), i.e. kanamycin, capreomycin or amikacin) has emerged as a public health concern in industrialised countries, due to increasing migration from regions where TB is endemic. In migrants coming to Italy from 106 countries, MDR-TB was high from the former Soviet Union and low from AfricaFile in questo prodotto:
