AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY CLOFAZIMINE (1 MCGML) Test in Vadodara Overview
No special preparations needed
- Clofazimine (1 Mcg/ Ml)
This test determines whether acid-fast bacilli (AFB), such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, are susceptible to the antibiotic clofazimine.
It helps guide the treatment of tuberculosis or leprosy by identifying effective antibiotic options, especially in drug-resistant cases.
A sample of sputum or tissue is cultured, and the organism is exposed to clofazimine in a controlled lab environment.
If the organism is susceptible, clofazimine can be used in treatment. Resistance suggests the need for alternative antibiotics.
Sample collection must follow sterile procedures. No special preparation is required from the patient.
