by Megan Durham (Editor)
Tuberculosis (TB) refers to a type of infectious disease generally caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Lungs are the primary target of this disease, but it can also affect the other parts of the body. It can be treated with a combination of antibacterial medications. However, the evolution of drug-resistant tuberculosis necessitates the development of effective, novel and safe drug regimens. Drug discovery and development is a difficult, expensive and time-consuming process. One of the popular frameworks used in drug discovery is model-informed drug discovery and development (MID3). It aims to provide an informative prediction of drug efficacy and exposure in people for choosing innovative anti-tuberculosis drug combinations. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about drug discovery for treating tuberculosis. Those with an interest in this area of pharmaceutical science would find it helpful.
