CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST CYCLOSERINE Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST CYCLOSERINE Test at a cost of AED 660.0. This laboratory test is used to determine the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the bacteria that causes tuberculosis) to the drug cycloserine.
Test Components and Price
The CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST CYCLOSERINE Test is priced at AED 660.0. To perform the test, a pure growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex on appropriate media should be submitted in a sterile screw capped container, sealed in a plastic bag, and shipped refrigerated. Alternatively, if the pure growth has already been obtained in the laboratory from previously submitted specimens for AFB culture or Mycobacteria identification tests, it will be processed for Antitubercular Sensitivity.
Report Delivery
The report for the CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST CYCLOSERINE Test is delivered daily by 3.30 pm and takes 21 days to be completed.
Method and Test Type
The CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST CYCLOSERINE Test is an automated fluorescent test used for Tuberculosis. It helps physicians in determining the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to the drug cycloserine.
Pre Test Information
No special preparation is required before undergoing the CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST CYCLOSERINE Test.
Test Details
The Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST (Drug Susceptibility Testing) for Cycloserine is a laboratory test used to determine the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to the drug cycloserine. Cycloserine is an antibiotic commonly used in the treatment of tuberculosis. During the test, a culture of the bacteria is grown in the presence of cycloserine. The growth of the bacteria is then compared to a control group without the drug. By observing the growth patterns, the laboratory can determine if the bacteria are susceptible or resistant to cycloserine. This information is crucial in guiding the treatment of tuberculosis. If the bacteria are found to be susceptible to cycloserine, it can be included in the treatment regimen. However, if the bacteria are resistant to cycloserine, alternative drugs need to be used. Overall, the Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST for Cycloserine helps healthcare providers make informed decisions regarding the appropriate drug therapy for tuberculosis patients.
Conclusion
The CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST CYCLOSERINE Test offered at DNA Labs UAE is an essential tool in determining the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to the drug cycloserine. By providing valuable information about the effectiveness of cycloserine in treating tuberculosis, this test aids healthcare providers in making informed decisions regarding the appropriate drug therapy for patients.
