Service Providers for Oral Swab for C/S
The oral swab for C/S is used to detect infections in the mouth, such as bacterial or fungal infections, and identify the specific pathogen. Preparation involves cleaning the mouth and avoiding food or drink before the test. During the test, a healthcare provider swabs the inside of the mouth or throat to collect a sample. Risks are minimal, with slight discomfort or gagging possible. After the test, no special care is needed. Results identify the pathogen and its sensitivity to antibiotics. Conditions like recent antibiotic use or oral hygiene can affect the results.
