Take Control of Your TB Treatment Journey
When standard tuberculosis treatment isn’t working as expected, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. The Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST Ofloxacin Test provides the clarity you need to ensure your treatment is effective against drug-resistant strains. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the anxiety that comes with persistent TB symptoms, and we’re here to provide the accurate answers that can guide your recovery.
Understanding Your TB Drug Sensitivity Test
This specialized test determines whether the tuberculosis bacteria in your system are sensitive or resistant to Ofloxacin, a crucial second-line TB medication. Using pure growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from your sample, our advanced automated fluorescent technology precisely measures how the bacteria respond to this important antibiotic. The results tell your doctor exactly which medications will work effectively against your specific TB strain.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Persistent cough, fever, or night sweats despite TB treatment
- Previous TB treatment that was unsuccessful
- Known exposure to drug-resistant TB strains
- Weakened immune system due to HIV, diabetes, or other conditions
- Healthcare work involving TB patient care
- Living in communities with high rates of drug-resistant TB
Early detection of drug resistance can prevent months of ineffective treatment and reduce the risk of spreading resistant strains to family and community members.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health
Getting the right TB treatment from the start can make all the difference in your recovery. This test provides:
- Personalized Treatment: Ensures you receive medications that actually work against your specific TB strain
- Faster Recovery: Avoids wasting time on ineffective treatments
- Reduced Side Effects: Prevents unnecessary medication exposure
- Peace of Mind: Confirms your treatment path is correct
- Community Protection: Helps prevent spread of drug-resistant TB
Understanding Your Test Results
Your results will clearly indicate whether your TB bacteria are sensitive or resistant to Ofloxacin. If sensitive, this medication can be an effective part of your treatment plan.

Our detailed report includes easy-to-understand explanations and recommendations, and we’re always available to help you discuss the results with your healthcare provider.
