Will Drug resistant TB be an end time plague?

It sounds to me like this new drug resistant TB could be one of the end time pestilences spoken about in Bible prophecy. If this TB gets into the HIV infected population it could spread worldwide in a decade for obvious reasons.

WorldNetDaily: Untreatable TB threat ‘apocalyptic scenario’
“That is the big threat here. If you have more and more of these cases, you will automatically magnify the problem by having transmission going on to other individuals … Once they become infected they are sort of a time bomb,” he said.
“If this is kept unchecked and goes on, then you may also see an apocalyptic scenario where the present epidemic of TB is replaced by an epidemic of TB which is now fully resistant to everything,” he added.
In such a situation, the toll could be massive. Currently 8.8 million people each year develop normal TB, a bacterial infection (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) that usually attacks the lungs. It already kills 1.6 million annually, WHO said.
“The possibility is that you could replace that epidemic with a drug-resistant epidemic, in other words you could have 8 million cases of drug-resistant TB wandering around. And then you will be back to the pre-antibiotic era,” said Nunn.
“We really now have to focus on problems of infection control. We can’t allow drug-resistant MDR or XDR to get into populations of HIV-infected people,” he added.
