The MOTT Antibiogram for Rapid Growers (10 Drugs) test at Metropolis Healthcare determines the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Mycobacteria Other Than Tuberculosis (MOTT) that grow rapidly. This test helps identify the most effective antibiotics for treating infections caused by these non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). It is crucial for guiding targeted therapy and preventing drug resistance. Metropolis Healthcare uses advanced molecular and culture-based methods to ensure accurate, reliable, and clinically relevant results for optimal patient management.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):
What is the MOTT Antibiogram for Rapid Growers (10 Drugs) Test?
This test evaluates the sensitivity of rapidly growing Mycobacteria Other Than Tuberculosis (MOTT) to a panel of 10 antibiotics to determine effective treatment options.
Why is this test important?
It helps clinicians choose the most suitable antibiotics for infections caused by rapid-growing NTM species, improving treatment outcomes and minimizing resistance development.
Who should undergo this test?
Patients diagnosed with infections due to rapidly growing non-tuberculous mycobacteria—especially those not responding to standard TB drugs—should undergo this test.
How is the test performed?
A pure culture of the mycobacterial isolate is tested at Metropolis Healthcare against 10 antibiotics using standardized susceptibility testing methods to determine resistance or sensitivity.
What do the results indicate?
The results show which antibiotics the organism is sensitive or resistant to, helping doctors plan an effective, targeted antibiotic regimen.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
There are no risks to the patient, as the test is performed on a laboratory culture and does not require a direct sample collection from the patient.
Why choose Metropolis Healthcare for this test?
Metropolis Healthcare provides accurate, reliable, and clinically relevant antibiotic susceptibility testing using advanced microbiological techniques and expert interpretation to support precise treatment of mycobacterial infections.
