94053-6
LaboratoryMycobacterium tuberculosis complex resistance panel by Molecular genetics method
Definition
This panel contains results for the detection of mutations in the various MTB complex genes that indicate resistance to first- and second-line anti-tuberculous medications, including isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol, pyrazinamide, the fluoroquinolones (moxifloxacin and ofloxacin) and the aminoglycosides (streptomycin, kanamycin, and amikacin). The predicted susceptibility (resistant, susceptible) to various medications based on the variants identified may also be reported.
