    Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a form of tuberculosis (TB) infection caused by bacteria that are resistant to treatment with at least two of the most powerful first-line anti-TB medications (drugs): isoniazid and rifampicin.

  3. Memory buffer register - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_buffer_register

    When there is a write instruction, the data to be written is placed into the MDR from another CPU register, which then puts the data into memory. The memory data register is half of a minimal interface between a microprogram and computer storage; the other half is a memory address register (MAR).

  5. Memory address register - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_address_register

    When writing to memory, the CPU writes data from MDR to the memory location whose address is stored in MAR. MAR, which is found inside the CPU, goes either to the RAM (random-access memory) or cache. The MAR register is half of a minimal interface between a microprogram and computer storage; the other half is a MDR.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuberculosis

    If TB bacteria gain entry to the blood stream from an area of damaged tissue, they can spread throughout the body and set up many foci of infection, all appearing as tiny, white tubercles in the tissues. [96] This severe form of TB disease, most common in young children and those with HIV, is called miliary tuberculosis. [97]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_drug_resistance

    Infection prevention is the most efficient strategy of prevention of an infection with a MDR organism within a hospital, because there are few alternatives to antibiotics in the case of an extensively resistant or panresistant infection; if an infection is localized, removal or excision can be attempted (with MDR-TB the lung for example), but ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensively_drug-resistant...

    Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is a form of tuberculosis caused by bacteria that are resistant to some of the most effective anti-TB drugs. XDR-TB strains have arisen after the mismanagement of individuals with multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). Almost one in four people in the world is infected with TB bacteria. [1]
