What does ANTIBIOGRAM - MTB (RIFAMPICIN) measure?
This test evaluates Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) for susceptibility or resistance to rifampicin, an important medicine used in tuberculosis treatment. It may be ordered when tuberculosis is suspected or confirmed, or when a healthcare professional needs information to help guide treatment decisions and assess possible drug resistance. Results are interpreted together with clinical findings and other tuberculosis tests.
