When a case of drug resistance is established, the doctor has to change the prescription and give other drugs that are also known to be effective against the organism.

Bacterial drug resistance is a common clinical experience. Many established drugs have been found to be ineffective in treating common infections leading to the continuous quest for improved antibiotics that are active against most organisms.

When doctors discover that someone who has an active case of drug-resistant tuberculosis, the doctor may need to change the prescription to other drugs that are also known to be effective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causal agent of tuberculosis.
