TLDR
There has been an increasing trend in drug resistance in recent years, particularly in retreatment cases, and revision of the national TB control program, reevaluation of the role of the World Health Organization category II (CAT II) regimen, as well as the conducting of a nationwide drug resistance survey are recommended.About:

TL;DR: The setting-specific risk of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis was nearly identical in children and treatment-naive adults with tuberculosis, consistent with the assertion that multi-drug-resistant disease in both groups reflects the local risk of transmitted tuberculosis.

Anti-tuberculosis drug resistance and associated risk factors in a tertiary level TB center in Iran: a retrospective analysis
Muayad A. Merza,Parissa Farnia,Payam Tabarsi,Mehdi Khazampour,Mohammad Reza Masjedi,Ali Akbar Velayati +5 more
TL;DR: The high rate of initial resistance in MDR-TB cases and the high rate in a young age group were indicators of recent transmission, and closer monitoring of transmission trends of drug resistant strains should be considered as priority, to ensure a successful TB control programme.

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in Ethiopia: efforts to expand diagnostic services, treatment and care
TL;DR: The most powerful predictor of the emergence of MDR-TB reported in Ethiopia is previous exposure to anti-TB drug treatment, and Strengthening early case detection and proper treatment of drug-susceptible TB in accordance with World Health Organization treatment guidelines is critical.

TL;DR: The guidelines promote the early use of antiretroviral agents for TB patients with HIV on second-line drug regimens and systems that primarily employ ambulatory models of care are recommended over others based mainly on hospitalisation.
