What does AFB DRUG SUSCEPTIBILITY - MOTT measure?
This test evaluates drug susceptibility in non-tuberculous mycobacteria, also called Mycobacteria Other Than Tuberculosis (MOTT). It assesses whether the identified organism is likely to respond or be resistant to specific antimicrobial medicines. A healthcare professional may order it after MOTT has been detected or suspected to help guide further evaluation and treatment planning.
