Infection detection, culture sensitivity, and antimicrobial testing
Our microbiology and culture tests help detect and identify bacteria, fungi, or viruses in blood, urine, or tissue samples. It usually takes 24-72 hours. These tests are the gold standard for infection diagnosis and help technicians identify specific pathogens and treatment options through sensitivity testing.
1
Fasting is not required for culture tests alone.
2
For Urine, collect a midstream sample to avoid contamination
3
For sputum, wash your mouth and cough deeply to collect mucus.
4
For wounds, no special preparations are typically required
5
For stool culture, collect a fresh sample in the provided container
6
Schedule the test when it is easiest to deliver the samples directly to the lab
A bacterial culture test can help detect whether you have a bacterial infection and identify the type of bacteria causing it. You need to provide a sample of your blood, skin, urine, or other tissues to do a bacterial culture test.
Bacteria need time to grow in the laboratory before they can be identified. It typically takes about 24-48 hours.
Once a bacteria-causing infection is identified, we test which antibiotics can kill them. It helps doctors prescribe the right antibiotic.
We can help detect respiratory, blood, wound, and urinary infections, among others.
