What this test measures
This test cultures the bacteria from your sample, identifies the organism(s), and tests which antibiotics will kill them (sensitivity).
Who should take it
Anyone with a suspected bacterial infection that needs identification — typically after symptoms persist despite empirical antibiotics, or before starting treatment for a complicated infection.
What your results mean
Results report the organism(s) grown and the antibiotics they’re sensitive or resistant to. Your doctor uses this to choose the most effective treatment.
