What is the maximum days the report can be obtained for the test

The maximum days the report can be obtained for the test AFB Drug Susceptibility Test: Streptomycin is 21 days. This test involves culturing the bacteria and then testing its susceptibility to streptomycin, which can take up to 21 days to provide accurate results.

What are the prerequisites for the test AFB Drug Susceptibility Test: Streptomycin

  • Specimen: Pure culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis or other mycobacteria
  • Media: Appropriate solid or liquid media for growing mycobacteria
  • Incubation: Incubate at 37°C for 2-4 weeks
  • Concentration of Streptomycin: Prepared in appropriate concentration

What are the measure values for the test AFB Drug Susceptibility Test: Streptomycin

  • Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for streptomycin: 6.25 µg/mL
  • Resistance breakpoint for streptomycin: ≥4 µg/mL
  • Susceptible breakpoint for streptomycin: ≤2 µg/mL
  • Intermediate breakpoint for streptomycin: 2-4 µg/mL

What does this test AFB Drug Susceptibility Test: Streptomycin identify?

This test, AFB Drug Susceptibility Test: Streptomycin, identifies the susceptibility of acid-fast bacteria (AFB) to the antibiotic Streptomycin. Streptomycin is commonly used to treat infections caused by AFB such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria responsible for tuberculosis. This test helps determine if the AFB is sensitive or resistant to Streptomycin, which can guide healthcare providers in choosing the most effective treatment for the infection.

Why is this test AFB Drug Susceptibility Test: Streptomycin taken?

The AFB Drug Susceptibility Test: Streptomycin is taken to determine the susceptibility of the bacteria causing the infection to the antibiotic Streptomycin. This test is important because it helps healthcare providers choose the most effective antibiotic treatment for the patient.

Streptomycin is a commonly used antibiotic for treating infections caused by mycobacteria, including tuberculosis. However, some strains of mycobacteria may be resistant to Streptomycin, making it ineffective in treating the infection. The AFB Drug Susceptibility Test helps to identify these resistant strains so that alternative antibiotic treatments can be prescribed.

Overall, the AFB Drug Susceptibility Test: Streptomycin is an important tool in guiding antibiotic therapy and ensuring the best possible outcome for patients with mycobacterial infections.
