About test
What does ANTIBIOGRAM - MTB (LINEZOLID) measure?
This test evaluates whether Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), the bacteria associated with tuberculosis, is susceptible or resistant to the antibiotic linezolid. It may be used to help guide antibiotic selection when tuberculosis is suspected or confirmed, particularly in cases where drug resistance is a concern. Results are interpreted together with other laboratory findings, treatment history, and clinical assessment.
