ABSTRACT
Sputum samples from pulmonary tuberculosis patients attending a hospital for chest diseases and tuberculosis at Jaipur, India were directly subjected to sensitivity tests to detect drug resistance to streptomycin (S), isoniazid (I), rifampicin (R) and ethambutol (Emb) by slide culture technique. Drug resistance was observed to one or more drug in 19.9 per cent of the patients. I resistant organisms were present in 10.1 per cent of patients, S resistance in 7.6 per cent, R resistance in 3.0 per cent and Emb resistance in 2.6 per cent. Resistance was limited to a single drug in 16.7 per cent patients. Drug resistance was unrelated to age and sex of the patients.
