Doctors are seeing an alarming increase in the number of cases of tuberculosis (TB) that is resistant to drugs commonly used to
treat the disease. TB is difficult to pass to other people without prolonged contact, but it is often fatal if it is not treated. How will doctors most likely respond to someone who has an active case of drug-resistant tuberculosis?
Doctors will not be able to do anything to help someone with drug-resistant TB.
Doctors will expose other people to the patient to help those people develop a resistance to TB.
Doctors will use other drugs that are known to be able to treat TB, even if they are less effective than the common drugs.
Doctors will use the patient to test the effectiveness of new antibiotics that have not been tried on people yet.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that affects mainly respiratory tract and can be transmitted from one to another person through contaminated air. The causative agent of tuberculosis, <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> has developed resistance against many antibiotics, such as rifampin and isoniazid, which is known as tuberculosis drug resistance.
If a person infected with TB shows drug resistance against some TB drugs, 'doctors should give other TB drugs to that person, even if these drugs show less effect than common drugs'. This is because these drugs can prevent or kill the bacterium more effectively than the common drugs for which, bacterium is resistance.
