Test Details
The Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST Rapid 5 Drugs Panel test is a diagnostic test used to determine the susceptibility of mycobacteria (specifically, the bacteria that cause tuberculosis) to certain drugs. The test is performed on a culture of the bacteria and helps healthcare providers choose the most effective treatment for the patient.
The test panel includes five drugs commonly used to treat tuberculosis: isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol, streptomycin, and pyrazinamide. These drugs are tested to see if the bacteria are susceptible (meaning the drugs will effectively kill the bacteria) or resistant (meaning the drugs will not be effective).
By identifying the drug susceptibility of the bacteria, healthcare providers can tailor the treatment plan to ensure the most effective drugs are used. This helps in reducing the spread of drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis and improving patient outcomes.
