What is AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : Amikacin?

This test determines if acid-fast bacilli (AFB), often associated with tuberculosis, are susceptible to the antibiotic Amikacin. It helps guide treatment decisions for infections caused by these bacteria.

Why is this test important?

It's vital for managing tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections, especially when initial treatments are ineffective. Knowing the susceptibility to Amikacin ensures effective antibiotic therapy and prevents drug resistance.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
