Find Clarity in Complex Respiratory Infections
When persistent coughs, fatigue, and respiratory symptoms don’t improve with standard treatments, it’s natural to feel frustrated and concerned. You deserve answers, not endless uncertainty. Our Cultured AFB Other Than Tuberculosis (MOTT) DST for Rapid Growers Test provides the precise diagnostic information needed to guide effective treatment for non-TB mycobacterial infections.
Understanding Your Test: Clarity in Complex Diagnosis
This specialised test identifies Mycobacteria Other Than Tuberculosis (MOTT) – bacteria that can cause symptoms similar to tuberculosis but require completely different treatment approaches. Using advanced Broth Microdilution technology, we determine exactly which antibiotics will be most effective against your specific infection strain.
Unlike standard TB tests that might miss these complex infections, our MOTT DST provides detailed drug sensitivity profiles, helping your doctor create a targeted treatment plan that actually works.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Persistent cough lasting weeks despite antibiotic treatment
- Unexplained weight loss and fatigue
- Recurrent respiratory infections that don’t fully resolve
- Weakened immune system due to other health conditions
- Previous TB treatment that didn’t produce expected results
- Chronic lung conditions with worsening symptoms
Many South African patients have found answers through this test after months of uncertainty and ineffective treatments.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health Journey
Early and accurate diagnosis of MOTT infections can:
- Prevent months of ineffective antibiotic treatments
- Reduce the risk of developing drug-resistant infections
- Provide clear direction for your healthcare team
- Save valuable time in your recovery process

- Potentially prevent serious lung damage from prolonged infection
Knowing exactly which medications will work means you can start effective treatment sooner.
