Are there any limitations to the Macrolide Resistance Test?

Although the Macrolide Resistance Test is reliable, it does not test for antibiotic resistance to other families of antibiotics. You may need additional tests if you have been treated with different kinds of antibiotics.

Can I rely entirely on the Macrolide Resistance Test results?

The Macrolide Resistance Test is a dependable diagnostic tool, but it shouldn't substitute professional medical advice. For symptoms persisting or for in-depth interpretation of results, consult a healthcare provider.

How do I interpret the Macrolide Resistance Test results?

You would receive detailed explanations of your results in your Vitall account. Any veering from the norm will be clearly indicated. For further or in-depth interpretations, seeking advice from a healthcare professional is recommended.

Can the Macrolide Resistance Test help diagnose my symptoms?

Whilst the Macrolide Resistance Test cannot diagnose specific symptoms or conditions, it can indicate whether your current choice of antibiotic is facing resistance and thereby explain ineffective treatment.

What should I do if the test results are negative?

A negative test result means that there is no resistance to macrolide antibiotics. If your symptoms persist, you should reach out to your healthcare provider for further advice.

How will I receive my Macrolide Resistance Test results?

Your sample would be analysed in a UKAS accredited lab and the results will be made available to you in your secure online Vitall account.

What do positive results mean?

A positive result indicates that the bacteria are resistant to macrolide antibiotics. It suggests a need for different treatment. Contact your healthcare provider to discuss alternative antibiotics.

How do I collect a sample for the Macrolide Resistance Test?

Vitall provides self-collection finger-prick test kits for your convenience. You'll need to follow the instructions provided carefully to accurately provide a blood sample.

How does the Macrolide Resistance Test function?

The Macrolide Resistance Test examines the genetic material of the bacteria. If the genetic mutations that lead to resistance are found, it implies that the bacteria in your body are resistant to macrolide antibiotics.

What is the Macrolide Resistance Test used for?

The Macrolide Resistance Test is utilised to detect the presence of resistance to macrolide antibiotics. Macrolide resistance is a critical challenge in bacterial infections treatment as it makes the bacteria impervious to antibiotics which were previously effective.

Who should get the Macrolide Resistance Test?

Anyone who has recently had a bacterial infection and been treated with macrolide antibiotics but observed no improvement should consider this test. Chronic sufferers of bacterial infections may also take the test to rule out macrolide resistance.
