Mycobacterium tuberculosis Fluoroquinolone Sequencing(Sequencing)

If resistance to Isoniazid (INH) and Rifampicin (RIF) is confirmed in the sample requested, rapid molecular testing for fluoroquinolone-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Sanger sequencing) will be performed. Additional sequencing results and MIC values for Quinolone-based antituberculosis drugs will be provided. This service is available for specimens identified as strains (solid or liquid) eligible for rapid molecular testing for fluoroquinolone-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Method	Sequencing
Method	Fluoroquinolone Resistance Detection of gyrA or gyrB gene mutations
Turnaround Time	5 days after notification of rapid drug susceptibility results
