Sterling Accuris offers an AFB Culture by Bactec (MGIT) Test in Mahuva to detect and identify the drug resistance acid-fast bacilli in the samples.
Overview of the AFB Culture by Bactec (MGIT) Test
Acid-fast bacilli (AFB) are a group of bacteria with the characteristic of being acid-fast. This means they resist decolorization when exposed to acid during staining procedures. Acid-fast bacilli (AFB) comprise types of bacteria that cause tuberculosis and certain other mycobacterial infections like leprosy. Drug resistance of bacteria is a major concern in the treatment of TB and other infections. MGIT (Mycobacterium Growth Indicator Tube) system can be used to determine whether mycobacteria will grow in the presence of a drug or not. If the growth of acid-fast bacilli occurs in the presence of a drug then bacteria is resistant to the drug. If the growth of the bacteria is suppressed then this means the bacteria is sensitive to the drug.
The AFB Culture by Bactec (MGIT) test can provide important clues about the drug sensitivity of acid-fast bacilli of mycobacterium species, which is helpful for clinicians in planning treatment. Book an AFB Culture by Bactec (MGIT) test near you for accurate and reliable results.
