Resistant tuberculosis strains beaten by drug cocktail

Wired Science reports on new ways to beat drug resistant strains of tuberculosis. The new procedures involve using a drug cocktail that weakens tuberculosis's own defences, so that antibiotics can once again attack tuberculosis directly.

I myself had a case of tuberculosis infection some years back and the threat of having a drug resistant strain was a scary prospect during the six months I had to take antibiotics. I was lucky I didn't have a drug resistant strain. Via /.
