AFB (TB) - Antibiogram For MTb Complex - Streptomycin Drug By MGIT - Pure Growth Of MTB Complex

This test measures the susceptibility of Tuberculosis bacteria to Streptomycin.

• To identify the susceptibility of Tuberculosis bacteria to Streptomycin • To guide doctors in selecting appropriate medications for treating TB • To monitor the effectiveness of ongoing TB treatment • To prevent the development of drug-resistant TB strains

Doctors may recommend this test if • you have been diagnosed with Tuberculosis, • your symptoms persist despite ongoing treatment, • there is a risk of developing drug-resistant Tuberculosis, or • they want to ensure the most effective medication for your specific TB strain.

Abnormal results may indicate drug-resistant TB, which requires alternative medications for effective treatment.

During this test, a healthcare professional will take a sample of your Tuberculosis bacteria. They will test this sample against Streptomycin to determine susceptibility.

• Provide relevant clinical history and clinician contact information for notification. • Follow any other instructions provided by your doctor or the testing facility. • Inform your doctor if you have any specific requirements.

• AFB Stain: This test detects the presence of Acid-Fast Bacilli, confirming the diagnosis of Tuberculosis • GeneXpert MTB/RIF: This molecular diagnostic test identifies both Tuberculosis and Rifampicin resistance simultaneously

TB Drug Susceptibility Test - Streptomycin or Mycobacterial Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing - Streptomycin

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It primarily affects the lungs but can also impact other organs. TB is transmitted through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for effective management of TB.
