Test Details
The Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST (Drug Susceptibility Testing) Rifabutin test is a laboratory test used to determine the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the bacteria that causes tuberculosis) to the antibiotic rifabutin. Rifabutin is a drug commonly used in the treatment of tuberculosis, particularly in cases where the bacteria is resistant to other first-line drugs. However, it is important to determine the susceptibility of the bacteria to rifabutin before prescribing it, as resistance to this drug can also develop.
The test involves culturing the bacteria in the presence of different concentrations of rifabutin. The growth of the bacteria is then observed, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of rifabutin is determined. The MIC is the lowest concentration of the drug that inhibits the growth of the bacteria. Based on the MIC results, the bacteria can be classified as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant to rifabutin. This information helps guide the selection of appropriate antibiotics for the treatment of tuberculosis.
It is important to note that the Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST Rifabutin test is just one of many tests used to determine the drug susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Other tests may be performed to assess the susceptibility to other drugs commonly used in tuberculosis treatment, such as isoniazid, rifampin, and ethambutol.
