What does ANTIBIOGRAM - MTB (ETHAMBUTOL) measure?
This test evaluates the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) to ethambutol, an antibiotic used in tuberculosis treatment. It helps determine whether the detected MTB organism is likely to be sensitive or resistant to ethambutol. A healthcare professional may order this test when tuberculosis is confirmed or suspected, particularly to help guide selection of appropriate medicines or assess possible drug resistance.
