CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST AMIKACIN Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST AMIKACIN Test for patients who require testing for tuberculosis. This laboratory test helps determine the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the bacteria that causes tuberculosis) to various antitubercular drugs, including amikacin.
Test Details
The Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST (Drug Susceptibility Test) involves culturing the bacteria in the presence of different concentrations of amikacin. The growth of the bacteria is then observed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), which is the lowest concentration of the drug that prevents bacterial growth.
Benefits of the Test
The results of the Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST AMIKACIN Test can help guide the selection of appropriate antibiotics for the treatment of tuberculosis. If the bacteria are found to be susceptible to amikacin, it can be included in the treatment regimen. However, if the bacteria are resistant to amikacin, alternative drugs will need to be considered.
Test Cost and Report Delivery
The cost of the CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST AMIKACIN Test is AED 660.0. Samples should be submitted as a pure growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex on appropriate media in a sterile screw-capped container, sealed in a plastic bag, and shipped refrigerated. The report will be delivered within 21 days, with daily sample collection by 3.30 pm.
Method and Test Type
The CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST AMIKACIN Test is performed using an automated fluorescent method. It is specifically designed for the detection and analysis of tuberculosis.
Pre Test Information
No special preparation is required before undergoing the CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST AMIKACIN Test.
Importance of Specialized Testing
The Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST is a specialized test that is typically performed in reference laboratories or specialized tuberculosis centers. It requires expertise and specific laboratory techniques to ensure accurate and reliable results.
Conclusion
If you suspect tuberculosis or need to determine the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to antitubercular drugs, the CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST AMIKACIN Test offered by DNA Labs UAE can provide valuable insights. Our experienced team and advanced laboratory techniques ensure accurate and reliable results for the best possible patient care.

| Test Details |
The Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST (Drug Susceptibility Test) is a laboratory test used to determine the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the bacteria that causes tuberculosis) to various antitubercular drugs. Amikacin is one of the drugs included in the test. It is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that is commonly used in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) or extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB). The test involves culturing the bacteria in the presence of different concentrations of amikacin. The growth of the bacteria is then observed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), which is the lowest concentration of the drug that prevents bacterial growth. The results of the test can help guide the selection of appropriate antibiotics for the treatment of tuberculosis. If the bacteria are found to be susceptible to amikacin, it can be included in the treatment regimen. However, if the bacteria are resistant to amikacin, alternative drugs will need to be considered. It is important to note that the Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST is a specialized test that is typically performed in reference laboratories or specialized tuberculosis centers. It requires expertise and specific laboratory techniques to ensure accurate and reliable results. |
