The “Cultured AFB Other Than Tuberculosis MOTT DST for Rapid Growers Test” is a specialized diagnostic procedure available at DNA Labs UAE, designed to identify and perform drug susceptibility testing (DST) on Mycobacteria Other Than Tuberculosis (MOTT) that are categorized as rapid growers. This test is crucial for patients suspected of having infections caused by rapid-growing non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), as these organisms can cause a variety of diseases, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems.

The process involves culturing the specimen to isolate the mycobacteria, followed by identifying the specific type of MOTT. Once identified, the DST is performed to determine the most effective antibiotics to treat the infection. This test is particularly important for guiding the clinical management of infections caused by rapid-growing NTM, ensuring targeted and effective treatment.

At DNA Labs UAE, the cost of this comprehensive test is 1850 AED. The facility utilizes state-of-the-art technology and follows stringent protocols to ensure accurate and timely results, aiding healthcare providers in the diagnosis and management of NTM infections.

Description

CULTURED AFB OTHER THAN TUBERCULOSIS MOTT DST FOR RAPID GROWERS Test

Test Cost: AED 1850.0

Symptoms Diagnosis:

The CULTURED AFB OTHER THAN TUBERCULOSIS MOTT DST FOR RAPID GROWERS test is a laboratory test used to determine the susceptibility of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) to various antimicrobial drugs. Rapid growers are a group of NTM species that grow relatively quickly in culture compared to other mycobacteria, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Some examples of rapid growers include Mycobacterium fortuitum, Mycobacterium abscessus, and Mycobacterium chelonae.

The purpose of the CULTURED AFB OTHER THAN TUBERCULOSIS MOTT DST test is to guide the selection of appropriate antibiotics for the treatment of infections caused by these NTM species. The test involves growing the bacteria in the presence of different antibiotics to determine which drugs are effective in inhibiting their growth.

The results of the test can help clinicians choose the most appropriate antibiotics for treating NTM infections, as well as identify any drug resistance patterns that may be present. This information is crucial for ensuring effective treatment and preventing the development of further drug resistance.

It is important to note that this test specifically targets rapid growers and is not designed to detect or determine drug susceptibility for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis. For drug susceptibility testing of M. tuberculosis, a different test, such as the GeneXpert MTB/RIF assay or the culture-based phenotypic DST, would be used.
