Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis In A Referral Center In Rome: 2011- 2016.

Recent immigrants from non-European countries do not appear to contribute to the rates of MDR-TB reported in this article. This knowledge of local TB trends could help improve the measures of surveillance and prevention of disease.
