Actinomycetes Culture only Sputum
This test involves culturing a sputum sample to detect the presence of Actinomycetes bacteria. These bacteria can cause a rare but serious infection called actinomycosis, often affecting the lungs.
AFB DRUG SENSITIVITY: MIC TEST FOR RAPID GROWING NON-TUBERCULOUS MYCOBACTERIA (NTM)
This test identifies the most effective antibiotics for treating infections caused by rapid-growing Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM). It uses the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) method to determine the lowest drug dose needed to stop the bacteria's growth, guiding precise treatment.
AFB SMEAR
An AFB Smear test involves examining a sample, such as urine, under a microscope to look for Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB). These bacteria are commonly associated with tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections. It's a quick screening method to detect the presence of these microorganisms.
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.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : Capreomycin
This test checks if acid-fast bacilli (AFB), commonly linked to tuberculosis, are susceptible to the antibiotic Capreomycin. It's crucial for tailoring effective treatment plans for these specific infections.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : CLOFAZIMINE
This test determines if the Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) causing an infection are susceptible to the antibiotic Clofazimine. It's vital for guiding treatment decisions, especially for drug-resistant mycobacterial infections like certain forms of tuberculosis or leprosy.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : Ethambutol
This test checks if the Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) causing an infection are sensitive to Ethambutol, a key medication used to treat tuberculosis. It helps ensure that the prescribed treatment will be effective against the specific strain of bacteria.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : Ethionamide
This test assesses whether the Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) responsible for an infection are susceptible to Ethionamide, an antibiotic often used in treating drug-resistant tuberculosis. It's essential for guiding treatment when first-line drugs are not effective.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : Isoniazid
This test determines if the Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) causing an infection are susceptible to Isoniazid, one of the most important first-line drugs for treating tuberculosis. It's vital for ensuring the initial treatment plan will be effective.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : Kanamycin
This test evaluates if the Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) causing an infection are susceptible to Kanamycin, an injectable antibiotic used in the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis. It helps doctors select appropriate second-line therapies.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : Levofloxacin
This test checks if the bacteria causing an Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) infection, such as tuberculosis, are sensitive to the antibiotic Levofloxacin. It helps doctors choose the most effective medication to treat your infection. Understanding drug susceptibility is vital for successful treatment outcomes.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : LINEZOLID
This test checks if the bacteria causing an Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) infection, such as tuberculosis, are sensitive to the antibiotic Linezolid. It helps doctors choose the most effective medication to treat your infection. Understanding drug susceptibility is vital for successful treatment outcomes.
