Sputum specimen was collected initially and for treatment monitoring using culture and for phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST) to first-line and second-line TB drugs. Initially, the patient was infected with a mycobacterial strain resistant to the first-line anti-TB drugs Rifampicin (RIF), Isoniazid (INH), and Pyrazinamide (PZA). Later, during treatment, he acquired additional drug resistance to ethambutol (EMB), ofloxacin (OFX), levofloxacin (LFX), moxifloxacin (MFX), and BDQ.
