An increasing trend was also identified in the rate of rifampicin and ofloxacin co-resistance (P<0.001).
There was a decreasing trend in the rifampicin resistance rate in both initial and re-treated patients (P<0.001), but the rifampicin resistance rate was higher in re-treated TB patients than in TB patients receiving their initial treatment (11.4% vs 4.2%).
Conclusion This study suggests that between 2015 and 2019, the overall rifampicin resistance rate in Zhejiang Province showed a trend to decrease, and the rifampicin resistance rate in all municipalities also showed a decreasing trend.
