Find the Right TB Treatment with Advanced Drug Resistance Testing
When tuberculosis treatment isn’t working as expected, it can feel frustrating and worrying. You’ve been taking your medication, but the symptoms persist or return. Our Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST Rapid 11 Drugs Panel provides the answers you need to get back on track to recovery.
Understanding Your TB Drug Resistance Test
This comprehensive test examines how your specific tuberculosis strain responds to 11 different anti-TB medications. Using advanced automated fluorescent technology, we determine which drugs will be most effective against your infection and which ones your TB strain might resist.
The test analyzes resistance to: Streptomycin, Isoniazid, Rifampicin, Ethambutol, Pyrazinamide, Clofazimine, Ethionamide, Capreomycin, Kanamycin, Amikacin, and Ofloxacin.
