About test
What does ANTIBIOGRAM - MTB (RIFABUTIN) measure?
This test evaluates the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) to rifabutin, an antibiotic used in selected tuberculosis treatment settings. It may help healthcare professionals identify whether an MTB isolate is likely to respond to rifabutin or shows resistance, supporting treatment planning when drug resistance is a concern. Results are interpreted alongside other tuberculosis tests, clinical findings, and treatment history.
