Find the Right TB Treatment with Advanced Drug Resistance Testing
When standard tuberculosis treatments aren’t working, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Our Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST Rapid 5 Second Line Drugs Panel provides the answers you need to overcome treatment-resistant TB and get back on track to recovery.
Understanding Your TB Drug Resistance Test
This specialized test examines how your tuberculosis bacteria respond to five crucial second-line medications. Using advanced automated fluorescent technology, we determine which drugs will be most effective against your specific TB strain, eliminating the guesswork in your treatment plan.
The test specifically analyzes resistance to: Ofloxacin, Levofloxacin, Moxifloxacin, PAS (Para-aminosalicylic acid), and Cycloserine – medications that become essential when first-line treatments prove ineffective.

- Persistent TB symptoms despite ongoing treatment
