Test Details
The Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST Kanamycin test is a diagnostic test used to determine the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the bacterium that causes tuberculosis) to the antibiotic kanamycin.
The test involves culturing the bacteria in the presence of kanamycin and observing their growth. If the bacteria are susceptible to kanamycin, they will not grow in its presence. If the bacteria are resistant to kanamycin, they will continue to grow despite its presence.
This test is part of the drug susceptibility testing (DST) process for tuberculosis and helps guide the selection of appropriate antibiotics for treatment. It provides valuable information for healthcare providers in determining the most effective treatment regimen for patients with tuberculosis.
