How Does the Test Work?
During the Cultured Mold Antifungal Drug Sensitivity DST Test, a sample of the mold is collected and cultured in our laboratory. The mold is then exposed to different antifungal drugs, including azoles, polyenes, and echinocandins. We monitor the growth of the mold in the presence of these drugs to determine which ones effectively inhibit its growth.
Importance of the Test
The results of the Cultured Mold Antifungal DST Test can help healthcare providers select the most appropriate antifungal medication for treating mold infections. It can also identify any drug resistance in the mold species, allowing for adjustments in treatment strategies if necessary. Please note that this test is specific to molds and may not be applicable for other types of fungi, such as yeasts.
It is crucial to have the test results interpreted by a healthcare professional with expertise in fungal infections. This ensures that proper treatment decisions are made based on the individual’s condition.
