This simply means that mycobacterium tuberculosis (causative organism of tb) has been detected which is not resistant to rifampicin (one of the drugs used in treatment of tb) and that is rather good. You just continue the medication as may have already been advised to you for 2 months and then 4 months and maintain a healthy diet and hygiene. If you need any further help you may consult me privately.
