SOURCE DEFINITION
In vitro testing using either phenotypic methods to determine susceptibility or molecular techniques to detect resistance-conferring mutations to a particular medicine
OTHER DEFINITIONS
Laboratory test that determines whether the M. tuberculosis bacteria cultured from a patient’s isolate are susceptible or resistant to various first-line or secondline anti-TB drugs
Laboratory determination to assess whether an M. tuberculosis complex isolate is susceptible or resistant to anti-TB drugs that are added to mycobacterial growth medium. The results predict whether a specific drug is likely to be effective in treating TB disease caused by that isolate
Laboratory determination to assess whether an M. tuberculosis complex isolate is susceptible or resistant to antituberculosis drugs that are added to mycobacterial growth medium or are detected genetically. The results predict whether a specific drug is likely to be effective in treating TB disease caused by that isolate
