In China’s Inner Mongolia region, some 7.25 percent of new tuberculosis cases are of the drug-resistant strain. 

World Health Officials are particularly alarmed by results showing 22.3 percent of new tuberculosis cases were drug-resistant in Baku, Azerbaijan. Serious rises in the disease have also been found in neighboring Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. 

As with other forms of tuberculosis, drug-resistant TB can be transferred from an infected person to a noninfected person.
