Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a serious threat to global tuberculosis(TB) control. WHO listed bedaquiline as one of the first-choice drugs for the treatment of MDR/RR-TB in 2018. Bedaquiline is marketed for adult patients with MDR-TB and XDR-TB. However, there are few studies of bedaquiline in adolescents, pregnant women, the elderly, and other special populations with drug-resistant TB. This paper aimed to review the effectiveness and safety of bedaquiline in the treatment of special populations of drug-resistant TB for the clinical use.
