  1. TB = tuberculosis, RS = rifampin susceptible, RR = rifampin resistant, Z = pyrazinamide, M = moxifloxacin. B = bedaquiline, Pa = pretomanid, HRZE = standard first-line regimen of isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol.
  2. a The probability of successful treatment is reduced when resistance is present to one or more drugs in the regimen prescribed, or when duration is changed (shortened due to loss to follow up, or extended to six months for patients with RR-TB receiving BPaMZ), as shown in part b of the Table
  3. b Parameter value shown is the risk if initially susceptible to R and Z (HRZE), or to B, Pa, and M (BPaMZ). Risk of acquired resistance to remaining drugs is increased for M. tuberculosis strains already resistant to one or more of these drugs in the regimen used; see Additional File 1 for details
