Find Answers for Persistent Respiratory Symptoms That Don’t Respond to Standard Treatment
When you’ve been experiencing ongoing cough, fatigue, or respiratory discomfort that doesn’t improve with conventional antibiotics, it can be incredibly frustrating and worrying. Our Cultured AFB Other Than Tuberculosis (MOTT) Drug Sensitivity Test is specifically designed to identify these challenging infections that often mimic tuberculosis but require completely different treatment approaches. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the anxiety that comes with unexplained symptoms, and we’re here to provide the clarity and direction you need for effective treatment.
Understanding Your MOTT Drug Sensitivity Test
This specialised test focuses on Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) that aren’t tuberculosis – known as MOTT (Mycobacteria Other Than Tuberculosis). These slow-growing bacteria can cause serious respiratory infections that are often misdiagnosed or treated ineffectively. Using advanced broth microdilution technology, we precisely determine which antibiotics will be most effective against your specific infection strain, eliminating the guesswork in your treatment plan.
Unlike standard tests that might miss these specialised organisms, our method ensures comprehensive detection and provides your healthcare provider with the detailed information needed to prescribe targeted, effective medication.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Persistent cough lasting weeks or months without improvement
- Unexplained fatigue and weight loss despite normal appetite
- Respiratory symptoms that don’t respond to standard antibiotics
- Previous tuberculosis exposure with ongoing symptoms
- Weakened immune system with recurrent respiratory issues
- Chronic lung conditions with worsening symptoms
Many patients find relief after months of uncertainty when their MOTT infection is properly identified and treated with the right medications.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Identifying MOTT infections early can prevent months of ineffective treatment and progressive lung damage. The key benefits include:
- Targeted Treatment: Receive medications specifically effective against your infection strain
- Faster Recovery: Avoid weeks of ineffective antibiotic courses
- Prevent Complications: Reduce risk of permanent lung damage
- Peace of Mind: Finally understand what’s causing your symptoms
- Cost Savings: Avoid expensive, unnecessary medications and doctor visits
Understanding Your Results with Confidence
Your results will clearly indicate which antibiotics are effective against your specific MOTT strain, presented in an easy-to-understand format that your healthcare provider can immediately use to create your treatment plan. We provide detailed explanations of what each result means for your recovery journey, and our medical team is available to answer any questions you or your doctor might have about the findings.
Remember: A positive result means we’ve identified the specific bacteria causing your symptoms and determined the most effective treatment options – this is the first step toward getting better.
