The Cultured AFB Other Than Tuberculosis MOTT DST for Slow Growers Test is a specialized diagnostic procedure that evaluates drug sensitivity patterns of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) isolated from patient samples. This advanced test helps determine which antibiotics will be most effective against slow-growing mycobacterial species, guiding targeted treatment strategies for patients with persistent infections. Using broth microdilution methodology, the test provides minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for multiple antimicrobial agents, enabling clinicians to select optimal therapeutic regimens. This testing is particularly valuable for patients with compromised immune systems, chronic respiratory conditions, or suspected mycobacterial infections that don’t respond to standard treatments. The test costs $288 USD and provides critical information for managing complex mycobacterial diseases beyond tuberculosis.

Cultured AFB Other Than Tuberculosis MOTT DST for Slow Growers Test

Comprehensive Drug Sensitivity Testing for Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria

The Cultured AFB Other Than Tuberculosis MOTT DST for Slow Growers Test represents a critical advancement in mycobacterial diagnostics, specifically designed to address the growing challenge of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections. These organisms, often referred to as MOTT (Mycobacteria Other Than Tuberculosis), present unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges that require specialized testing approaches.

What This Test Measures and Detects

This sophisticated diagnostic test utilizes broth microdilution methodology to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of various antimicrobial agents against slow-growing non-tuberculous mycobacteria. The test evaluates:

  • Drug sensitivity patterns across multiple antibiotic classes
  • Minimum inhibitory concentration values for targeted therapy
  • Resistance profiles of isolated mycobacterial strains
  • Growth characteristics of slow-growing mycobacteria species
  • Response to both first-line and second-line anti-mycobacterial agents

Who Should Consider This Test

This specialized testing is recommended for individuals experiencing:

  • Persistent respiratory symptoms unresponsive to conventional antibiotics
  • Chronic cough lasting more than three weeks
  • Unexplained weight loss and night sweats
  • Compromised immune systems (HIV/AIDS, transplant recipients, chemotherapy patients)
  • Underlying lung conditions such as bronchiectasis or cystic fibrosis
  • Suspected mycobacterial infections with atypical presentations
  • Previous treatment failures for presumed bacterial infections

Clinical Benefits of MOTT Drug Sensitivity Testing

Undergoing this comprehensive drug sensitivity analysis provides numerous clinical advantages:

  • Targeted Treatment Selection: Identifies the most effective antimicrobial agents for your specific infection
  • Reduced Treatment Duration: Helps avoid ineffective medications, shortening overall treatment time
  • Minimized Side Effects: Prevents exposure to drugs that won’t work against your infection
  • Improved Outcomes: Increases the likelihood of successful infection clearance
  • Cost-Effective Care: Reduces healthcare costs by eliminating trial-and-error approaches
  • Comprehensive Infection Management: Provides complete picture of mycobacterial susceptibility patterns

Understanding Your Test Results

Your test results will provide detailed information about how your isolated mycobacterial strain responds to various antimicrobial agents:

  • Susceptible Results: Indicates the antibiotic is likely to be effective against your infection
  • Intermediate Results: Suggests the antibiotic may work at higher doses or in combination therapy
  • Resistant Results: Shows the antibiotic is unlikely to be effective against your specific strain
  • MIC Values: Provides precise concentration data to guide dosing decisions

Your healthcare provider will interpret these results in the context of your clinical presentation, medical history, and other diagnostic findings to develop the most appropriate treatment plan.
