| 1. Education, Promotion of science & research, Health care programmes etc. 2. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a major human pathogenic bacteria and the causative agent of Tuberculosis (TB) disease. In the most cases, TB is treatable and curable. However, people with TB can die if they do not get proper treatment. Sometimes drug-resistant TB occurs when bacteria becomes resistant to the drugs used to treat TB. This means that the drug can no longer kill the bacteria. TB is highly infectious disease, declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is still the second leading killer in the world. According to WHO, in 2017, approx. 11 million (1.1 core) people infected/fell ill with TB disease, and approx. 2 million (20 lakhs) people died from TB disease worldwide and India is the leading the count. This means that, approx. 5,000-6,000 people die each day due to TB disease. Unfortunately, the lack of adherence to prescribed treatment procedure and inefficient healthcare structure have contributed to the development of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), defined as resistance to at least isoniazid and rifampicin, two front-line drugs used for treatment of TB that requires at least 20 months of treatment of second-line drugs comprised of capreomycin, kanamycin, amikacin and fluoroquinolones; these are more toxic and less efficient, which cure rates in the range of 60-70%. 3. In patients affected by extensively drug-resistant (XDR)-TB, the chances of successful treatment are quite low, underpinning the need for urgent discovery of novel compounds with activity against Mtb strains resistant to second-line drugs and search for new antitubercular drugs is a priority so as to overcome the problem of drug resistance and to finally eradicate TB disease.In addition to that conducting TB care and control and disease spreading awareness programmes etc. |
