Service Providers for Wound Swab for Gram Stain
The Wound Swab for Gram Stain test is used to identify bacterial infections in a wound by classifying bacteria as either Gram-positive or Gram-negative. A sterile swab is used to collect a sample of discharge or tissue from the wound. The sample is then stained using the Gram method and examined under a microscope to identify the type of bacteria causing the infection. No special preparation is typically required. Risks include mild discomfort during collection. A positive result indicates the presence of bacteria, while a negative result suggests no significant bacterial growth or normal wound flora.
