What is MDR TB?
When TB bacteria become resistant to multiple drugs mainly belonging to class isoniazid and rifampin, then it is called multi-drug resistant TB or MDR-TB.
Why does a drug sensitivity test need to be determined before starting the treatment for TB?
Due to the increased use of antibiotics, TB bacteria have become resistant to multiple antibiotics/drugs. To eradicate TB bacteria completely sensitivity of bacteria to class I drugs should be known.
How is drug sensitivity/resistance of TB bacteria to a drug determined?

Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers the AFB Sensitivity 2nd Line Drugs Test in Dakor 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 Dakor.
