Tests that measure Moxifloxacin

Antimicrobial Susceptibility NocardiaAerobic Actinomycetes MIC

Laboratory: Quest Diagnostics
Test code: 90396
Specimen: Pure culture of Nocardia spp.
Fasting: Not stated as required

What the laboratory says this test is for

Rapidly growing mycobacteria and Nocardia/aerobic actinomycetes can cause a variety of serious infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Resistance, toxicity, intolerance, and therapeutic failures may occur with traditional empiric treatment with drugs of choice. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing, especially with newer agents, may help to guide appropriate therapeutic choices.

Mycobacterium avium Complex MIC Panel

Laboratory: Quest Diagnostics
Test code: 19796
Specimen: 1 slant/plate/broth pure culture of isolate safely contained in Lowenstein-Jensen or Middlebrook 7H10 agar slant/plate or equivalent or positive AFB broth medium isolate safely contained in a double-walled container
Fasting: Not stated as required

What the laboratory says this test is for

Mycobacterium avium and other slow-growing mycobacteria cause a variety of human infections. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing may be an aid for treatment options.

Mycobacterium Slow Grower MIC

Laboratory: Quest Diagnostics
Test code: 19775
Specimen: 1 slant
Fasting: Not stated as required

What the laboratory says this test is for

Mycobacterium avium and other slow-growing mycobacteria cause a variety of human infections. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing may be an aid for treatment options.

Antimicrobial Susceptibility AFB Rapid Grower MIC

Laboratory: Quest Diagnostics
Test code: 19079
Specimen: Pure culture of a Runyon Group IV Mycobacteria (rapid growers) collected in an appropriate culture media - See Collection Instructions
Fasting: Not stated as required

What the laboratory says this test is for

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.
