Test Details
The CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST RAPID 12 DRUGS PANEL test is a laboratory test used to determine the drug susceptibility of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) bacteria. This test is performed on a culture of AFB (acid-fast bacilli) obtained from a patient’s sputum or other clinical samples. The test panel includes 12 different drugs commonly used to treat tuberculosis, including isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol, pyrazinamide, streptomycin, kanamycin, amikacin, capreomycin, ofloxacin, moxifloxacin, levofloxacin, and ethionamide. These drugs belong to different classes and have different mechanisms of action against the MTBC bacteria.
The test is performed by exposing the AFB culture to different concentrations of each drug and observing the growth or inhibition of the bacteria. The results are interpreted as susceptible, resistant, or intermediate for each drug, indicating the effectiveness of the drug in treating the specific strain of tuberculosis. This test is important in guiding the selection of appropriate antibiotic therapy for tuberculosis patients.
Drug-resistant strains of MTBC bacteria are a growing concern, and this test helps in identifying the most effective drugs to treat the infection.
