LOINC long common name : Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex resistance panel by Molecular genetics method;
LOINC short name : MTB cmplx resist Pnl Islt/Spm;
LOINC description : This panel contains results for the detection of mutations in the various MTB complex
genes that indicate resistance to first- and second-line anti-tuberculous medications,
including isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol, pyrazinamide, the fluoroquinolones (moxifloxacin
and ofloxacin) and the aminoglycosides (streptomycin, kanamycin, and amikacin). The
predicted susceptibility (resistant, susceptible) to various medications based on
the variants identified may also be reported.;
