Test Details:
The Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST (Drug Susceptibility Testing) Clarithromycin test is a laboratory test used to determine the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the bacteria that causes tuberculosis) to the antibiotic clarithromycin.
This test is performed on a culture of the bacteria, which is grown in the laboratory from a patient’s sputum or other clinical specimen. The bacteria are then exposed to different concentrations of clarithromycin to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), which is the lowest concentration of the drug that prevents the growth of the bacteria.
The Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST Clarithromycin test is important because it helps guide the choice of antibiotics for the treatment of tuberculosis. If the bacteria are found to be susceptible to clarithromycin, it can be included in the treatment regimen. However, if the bacteria are resistant to clarithromycin, alternative antibiotics must be used.
Drug resistance in tuberculosis is a significant problem, and DST is an essential tool in managing the disease. It helps to ensure that patients receive the most effective treatment and helps to prevent the spread of drug-resistant strains of the bacteria.
