MIC50, concentration required to inhibit the growth of 50% of the isolates tested. MIC90, concentration required to inhibit the growth of 90% of the isolates tested; Simple MDR-TB, MDR-TB with susceptible to fluoroquinolone or three second-line injectable drugs (capreomycin, kanamycin, and amikacin); MDR-TB plus, MDR-TB with additional resistance to any fluoroquinolone and to at least one of three second-line injectable drugs.
