FAQ

Why does a drug sensitivity test need to be determined before starting the treatment for TB?

Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers the AFB Sensitivity 2nd Line Drugs Test in Ahmedabad to diagnose and monitor leptospirosis infection against 2nd line drugs.

Overview of AFB Sensitivity 2nd Line Drugs Test

Acid-fast bacilli have the ability to resist decolorization on exposure to acid during the staining procedure. This property of acid fastness can be used in the detection of Mycobacteria-related infections. Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), poses a significant threat to public health due to its high fatality rate. With the emergence of drug-resistant strains of MTB, susceptibility testing has become an essential tool in managing TB. The AFB Drug Susceptibility test is a commonly used method for determining the sensitivity of AFB cultures to antibiotics. This test helps to identify which types of antibiotics may be effective against the bacteria and can inform clinical decision-making regarding treatment options. 

Sterling Accuris offers a sensitive AFB Sensitivity 2nd Line Drugs Test in Ahmedabad.
