This is also a major problem in Europe with tuberculosis.

In some parts of London the infection rate is higher than Africa and resistance is found in over 10% of cases.

The cost of drug treatment for resistant TB is over £50,000 (not including the high staff costs for specialists, to track down everyone they have been in contact with etc)
