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

AFB Drug Susceptibility Test: Ofloxacin

The AFB Drug Susceptibility Test for Ofloxacin is used to identify the susceptibility of acid-fast bacilli (AFB) to the antibiotic Ofloxacin. This test helps determine if the AFB causing the infection is sensitive or resistant to Ofloxacin, which is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic commonly used to treat Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections.

The test involves growing the AFB in the presence of different concentrations of Ofloxacin to observe how the bacteria respond. Based on the results, the healthcare provider can determine the most effective treatment regimen for the patient. If the AFB is susceptible to Ofloxacin, it means that the antibiotic can effectively kill or inhibit the growth of the bacteria. On the other hand, if the AFB is resistant to Ofloxacin, alternative treatment options may need to be considered.
