Laboratory assay overview

The role of rapidly growing Mycobacteria, especially M. fortuitum and M. chelonae, as agents of human disease has become more clearly established in modern times. Primary antitubercular drugs generally are not effective in the treatment of these organisms. Therapy had shifted to the use of antimicrobial agents routinely used to treat other bacterial infections.

Rapidly-growing Mycobacterium Susceptibility−Broth Dilution

Laboratory: Labcorp
Test code: 182915
Specimen: Rapidly-growing mycobacteria isolated from a primary clinical specimen
Fasting: Not stated
Turnaround: 20 - 35 days

Laboratory assay overview

Determine the susceptibility of rapidly-growing mycobacterial isolates to a profile of antimycobacterial agents. If cultures remain positive after 6 months of treatment, repeat susceptibility testing is recommended.

Verify these ranges and sources

We compile every detail above directly from named laboratory directories and published clinical studies. Laboratories calculate standard reference intervals from the statistical distribution of tested populations for a specific assay method and demographic group, rather than setting universal optimal targets.
