Blood Culture and Sensitivity is a critical diagnostic test used to identify the presence of bacteria or fungi in the bloodstream. It helps in diagnosing serious infections like sepsis and guides physicians in selecting the most appropriate antibiotic treatment. Blood samples are collected and incubated in a controlled environment to allow any present microorganisms to grow. Once identified, the pathogens are tested against various antibiotics to determine which ones are most effective in eradicating the infection. This test is essential for timely and targeted treatment, especially in hospitalized or immunocompromised patients.
