CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST CAPREOMYCIN Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST CAPREOMYCIN test to determine the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to the antibiotic capreomycin. This test is essential for guiding the selection of appropriate antibiotics for the treatment of tuberculosis.
Test Components and Price
Test Name: CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST CAPREOMYCIN
Components: –
- Price: 660.0 AED
Sample Condition and Submission
To conduct this test, please submit a pure growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex on appropriate media in a sterile screw-capped container. Ensure that the container is sealed in a plastic bag and shipped refrigerated. If you have already submitted specimens for other AFB culture or Mycobacteria identification tests, the pure growth obtained in the laboratory will be processed for Antitubercular Sensitivity.

Test Details
The CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST CAPREOMYCIN test is a diagnostic test used to determine the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to the antibiotic capreomycin. Capreomycin is an injectable antibiotic that is used as a second-line treatment for drug-resistant tuberculosis.
In this test, a sample of the bacteria is cultured and exposed to different concentrations of capreomycin. The growth of the bacteria is observed, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is determined. The MIC is the lowest concentration of the antibiotic that prevents visible growth of the bacteria.
Based on the MIC value, the strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is categorized as either susceptible, intermediate, or resistant to capreomycin. This information is crucial for selecting the appropriate antibiotics for the treatment of tuberculosis.

| Test Details | The CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST CAPREOMYCIN test is a diagnostic test used to determine the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the bacterium that causes tuberculosis) to the antibiotic capreomycin. Capreomycin is an injectable antibiotic that is used as a second-line treatment for drug-resistant tuberculosis. However, the effectiveness of capreomycin can vary depending on the susceptibility of the specific strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The test involves culturing a sample of the bacteria and exposing it to different concentrations of capreomycin. The growth of the bacteria is then observed, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is determined. The MIC is the lowest concentration of the antibiotic that prevents visible growth of the bacteria. Based on the MIC value, the strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is categorized as either susceptible, intermediate, or resistant to capreomycin. This information helps guide the selection of appropriate antibiotics for the treatment of tuberculosis. |
