Test Details
The Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST (Drug Susceptibility Testing) Clofazimine test is a laboratory test used to determine the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the bacterium that causes tuberculosis) to the drug clofazimine. Clofazimine is an antimicrobial agent that is used in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB).
This test helps in identifying whether the strain of M. tuberculosis is susceptible or resistant to clofazimine. The test is performed by culturing the bacteria in the presence of different concentrations of clofazimine. The growth of the bacteria is then observed, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of clofazimine required to inhibit the growth is determined. If the MIC is low, it indicates that the bacteria are susceptible to clofazimine, and if the MIC is high, it suggests resistance to the drug.
This test is important in guiding the selection of appropriate drugs for the treatment of tuberculosis, especially in cases of drug-resistant strains. It helps healthcare providers to choose the most effective treatment regimen for individual patients, thus improving the chances of successful treatment outcomes.
