Abstract

Abstract Two new drugs, delamanid and bedaquiline, have recently been approved for treatment of multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) tuberculosis. Here, we report a case of clofazimine, bedaquiline, and low-level delamanid resistances acquired during treatment of a patient with XDR tuberculosis.
