SWAB C/S

Swab C/S is a microbiological test used to detect and identify bacteria or fungi present in a sample collected from infected areas such as wounds, throat, nose, ear, genital area, or skin lesions. The swab is cultured in a lab to promote the growth of any infectious organisms. Once identified, a sensitivity test is conducted to determine which antibiotics or antifungal agents will effectively treat the infection. This test is essential for diagnosing localized infections and ensuring targeted antibiotic therapy, thereby avoiding unnecessary or ineffective treatments.
