Service Providers for Sputum C/S for Anerobic
Sputum C/S for Anaerobic is a test used to identify anaerobic bacteria (bacteria that do not require oxygen to grow) in a sputum sample. Anaerobic infections can occur in the lungs, particularly in conditions like aspiration pneumonia, abscesses, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The procedure involves collecting a sputum sample, which is then cultured in an environment without oxygen to promote the growth of anaerobic bacteria. The test also includes sensitivity testing to determine which antibiotics are effective against the bacteria. Results can take several days, and a positive result helps guide treatment with appropriate antibiotics for anaerobic infections.
