In both urban Songjiang and rural Wusheng, drug-resistant TB is mostly the result of transmission of drug resistant strains and the percentage of transmitted resistance will likely increase with on-going improvements in the TB treatment programs. Reducing the prevalence of drug resistance depends principally upon decreasing transmission through the prompt diagnosis and effective treatment of drug-resistant TB cases.
