Service Providers for Aspirated Fluid C/S for Anerobic

The Aspirated Fluid C/S for Anaerobic test is used to identify anaerobic bacteria (bacteria that thrive without oxygen) in fluid samples, such as from abscesses, pleural spaces, or joints. These bacteria can cause serious infections, including abscesses, intra-abdominal infections, and diabetic foot infections. The fluid is aspirated from the infected area using a needle or catheter, and the sample is cultured in conditions that support the growth of anaerobic organisms. Risks are minimal and typically include slight discomfort or infection at the aspiration site. A positive result helps determine the appropriate antibiotic treatment.
