Overview

AFB Culture (Mycobacterium tuberculosis)

AFB Culture (Mycobacterium tuberculosis)

The Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) Culture Test is the definitive laboratory procedure used to detect the presence and allow for the identification of Mycobacterium species, most notably Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), the organism responsible for Tuberculosis (TB).

While an AFB Smear (microscopy) can provide a rapid, presumptive diagnosis, the AFB Culture is essential because it is:

  1. More Sensitive: It detects very low concentrations of bacteria.
  2. Definitive: It grows and isolates the organism for positive identification.
  3. Drug Susceptibility Testing (DST): It provides the living organism needed to perform DST, which determines which antibiotics will be effective—a critical step in treating drug-resistant TB.

At Augmentum Diagnostics, an NABL-Accredited Lab in Delhi, including our location near Dwarka, we adhere to stringent protocols for AFB testing, often employing rapid liquid culture systems for quicker results.

Frequently asked questions on " AFB Culture (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) "

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a very slow-growing organism. On traditional solid media, it can take up to 8 weeks for colonies to become visible. However, at Augmentum Diagnostics, we often use liquid culture systems (MGIT), which significantly reduces the time to an average of 10 to 21 days, accelerating the start of correct treatment.

TB is a public health priority requiring rapid, accurate, and DST-enabled diagnosis. Augmentum Diagnostics is an NABL-Accredited Lab and one of the best pathology labs in Delhi, Dwarka. We utilize advanced liquid culture technology for faster results and offer integrated DST reporting, making us the trusted Diagnostic Center nearby.

Augmentum Diagnostics ensures easy access to specialized microbiology services. We are one of the Best Diagnostics Centre Near Me offering reliable sample collection services near Mahaveer Enclave, Palam, Dabri, and Dwarka.
