Are You Worried Your TB Treatment Isn’t Working Properly?
When tuberculosis treatment doesn’t seem to be effective, it can be incredibly stressful and concerning. You’ve been taking your medication faithfully, but what if the bacteria have developed resistance? Our Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST Kanamycin Test provides the answers you need to ensure your treatment is on the right track.
Understanding Your TB Drug Sensitivity Test
This specialised test examines whether the tuberculosis bacteria in your system are sensitive or resistant to kanamycin – a crucial second-line medication used when first-line treatments aren’t effective. Using advanced automated fluorescent technology, we analyse cultured TB samples to determine exactly how your specific strain responds to this important antibiotic.
Think of it as a personalised roadmap for your TB treatment. Instead of guessing which medications will work, this test provides scientific evidence to guide your doctor’s treatment decisions.

This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing any of these situations:

- You’ve had previous TB treatment that wasn’t fully successful

- You want to ensure your current treatment plan is optimal
