Frequently Asked Questions

The AFB Susceptibility MGIT 960 (5 Drugs) test assesses the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) to five key anti-tuberculosis drugs. It helps tailor treatment plans for tuberculosis patients.

It is recommended for patients diagnosed with tuberculosis to identify effective treatment options and detect multidrug resistance.

A sputum or bodily fluid sample is cultured in a Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT) system, and susceptibility to Isoniazid, Rifampin, Ethambutol, Pyrazinamide, and Streptomycin is tested.

  • Susceptible: Indicates that the infection can be treated with the tested drugs.
  • Resistant: Suggests drug resistance, requiring alternative treatment.
