CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST RIFAMPICIN Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST RIFAMPICIN test to determine the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to the antibiotic rifampicin. This test helps guide appropriate treatment for tuberculosis by identifying whether the bacteria are resistant or susceptible to rifampicin.
Test Details
The CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST RIFAMPICIN test is a laboratory test used to determine the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to rifampicin. Rifampicin is one of the first-line drugs used in the treatment of tuberculosis. During the test, a sample of the bacteria is isolated and cultured in the laboratory. The bacteria are then exposed to different concentrations of rifampicin. The growth of the bacteria is monitored, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of rifampicin required to prevent bacterial growth is determined. Based on the MIC, the bacteria are classified as either susceptible, intermediate, or resistant to rifampicin.
Susceptible bacteria are effectively killed by the antibiotic, while resistant bacteria are not affected by it. Intermediate bacteria may show some response to the antibiotic, but at concentrations higher than what is typically achievable in the body. The results of the CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST RIFAMPICIN test are crucial in guiding the selection of appropriate antibiotic therapy for the treatment of tuberculosis. If the bacteria are resistant to rifampicin, alternative drugs or drug combinations need to be used to effectively treat the infection.
