What are Miscellaneous antituberculosis agents?

Ethambutol is classed as a miscellaneous antituberculosis agent. It is taken up by the Mycobacterium and inhibits bacterial growth. It is a bacteriostatic antibiotic. Resistant strains emerge quickly if this drug is used on its own so it is best used in combination with other antituberculosis medicines.
