AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : PAS
This test checks if the bacteria causing an Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) infection, such as tuberculosis, are sensitive to the antibiotic Para-aminosalicylic acid (PAS). It helps doctors choose the most effective medication to treat your infection, especially for drug-resistant cases. Understanding drug susceptibility is vital for successful treatment outcomes.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : Pyrazinamide
This test determines if the bacteria causing tuberculosis (TB) are susceptible or resistant to the antibiotic Pyrazinamide. It helps doctors understand if this specific medication will be effective in treating the infection.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : RIFABUTIN
This test checks if the bacteria causing tuberculosis (TB) are susceptible or resistant to Rifabutin, an antibiotic used in certain TB treatment regimens. It helps guide treatment decisions, especially in specific patient cases.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : Rifampicin
This test determines if the bacteria causing tuberculosis (TB) are susceptible or resistant to Rifampicin, a key antibiotic in standard TB treatment. It's crucial for identifying effective treatment options.
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 SUSCEPTIBILITY, BACTEC : 10 DRUG PANEL
This comprehensive test uses the BACTEC method to determine the susceptibility of tuberculosis-causing bacteria to a panel of 10 different anti-TB drugs. It provides a broad overview of drug resistance.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY, BACTEC : 13 DRUG PANEL
This test identifies which antibiotics can effectively treat an infection caused by acid-fast bacilli (AFB), such as tuberculosis. It uses a specialized BACTEC method to test the bacteria's response to 13 different drugs, guiding your doctor to the most effective treatment plan.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY, BACTEC : 5 DRUG PANEL
This test determines which antibiotics are effective against an infection caused by acid-fast bacilli (AFB), like tuberculosis. Using the BACTEC method, it checks the bacteria's sensitivity to 5 key drugs, helping doctors choose the best treatment.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY, BACTEC : SIRE PANEL
This test identifies which antibiotics can effectively treat an infection caused by acid-fast bacilli (AFB), typically tuberculosis. The SIRE panel specifically checks the bacteria's sensitivity to four first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs: Streptomycin, Isoniazid, Rifampicin, and Ethambutol, using the BACTEC method.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY, BACTEC : SIREP PANEL
This test determines which antibiotics are effective against an infection caused by acid-fast bacilli (AFB), commonly tuberculosis. The SIREP panel specifically assesses the bacteria's sensitivity to five key anti-tuberculosis drugs: Streptomycin, Isoniazid, Rifampicin, Ethambutol, and Pyrazinamide, using the BACTEC method.
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.
