The human body can hardly fight bacteria that cause tuberculosis, mostly Mycobacterium tuberculosis, or other species of the Mycobacterium family. These bacteria are resistant for lots of ordinary antibiotics (because they live inside the human cells), so special drugs for TBC are developed. The standard therapy is a combination therapy, usually three drugs such as isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol to prevent resistance, followed by a prolonged therapy, minimum 6 months period which is necessary to eradicate the bacteria.
