AFB Antibiogram for MTB complex - Streptomycin, Pure Culture

The "AFB (TB) - Antibiogram for MTb complex - Streptomycin Drug by MGIT - Pure Growth of MTB complex" test is a vital diagnostic tool used to determine the drug susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB Complex) to the antibiotic Streptomycin. By employing the MGIT (Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube) method on pure cultures of MTB Complex, this test provides crucial information about the effectiveness of Streptomycin in treating tuberculosis (TB) caused by MTB Complex. The test result allows healthcare professionals to identify whether the MTB Complex is susceptible or resistant to Streptomycin, a significant first-line drug used in TB treatment. This information is essential for guiding treatment decisions, enabling the formulation of targeted and effective drug regimens to optimize patient care and minimize the risk of drug resistance. Overall, the clinical utility of this test lies in its contribution to tailored TB treatment and improved patient outcomes in the ongoing battle against tuberculosis.
