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 : 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.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : MOXIFLOXACIN
This test checks if the bacteria causing an Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) infection, such as tuberculosis, are sensitive to the antibiotic Moxifloxacin. It helps doctors choose the most effective medication to treat your infection. Understanding drug susceptibility is vital for successful treatment outcomes.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : Ofloxacin
This test checks if the bacteria causing an Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) infection, such as tuberculosis, are sensitive to the antibiotic Ofloxacin. It helps doctors choose the most effective medication to treat your infection. Understanding drug susceptibility is vital for successful treatment outcomes.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : Streptomycin
This test assesses if the bacteria causing tuberculosis (TB) are susceptible or resistant to Streptomycin, an injectable antibiotic sometimes used in TB treatment. It helps doctors select the best medication.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY MOXIFLOXACIN (2.0 MCG/ML)
This test determines if Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) are susceptible or resistant to the antibiotic Moxifloxacin. It involves exposing the bacteria from a blood sample to a specific concentration of Moxifloxacin to see if it can inhibit their growth. This helps guide treatment decisions.
AFB-Isolation by rapid culture by Bactec MGIT
This test involves isolating and growing Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) from a blood sample using a rapid culture method called Bactec MGIT. This advanced technique allows for faster detection and identification of mycobacteria compared to traditional culture methods. It's crucial for confirming an active infection.
