Also known as: AFB Rapid Culture, Sputum
MGIT Test Overview
Tuberculosis is a chronic respiratory tract infection causing fever, cough and weight loss. It is commonly caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.Tb). The AFB Rapid Culture Test by Bactec MGIT for sputum is a diagnostic tool used to detect infections caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB Complex) or Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM or MOTT). This test utilizes the Bactec MGIT system, which employs liquid culture media to rapidly identify mycobacterial growth. It is employed clinically to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) infections and distinguish them from other non-tuberculous bacterial infections. The rapid and accurate identification provided by this test aids in the timely initiation of appropriate treatment, reducing the risk of disease transmission and improving patient outcomes.
