Culture & Sensitivity , Tracheal secretion

Description

Culture & Sensitivity, Tracheal secretion is a test that analyzes samples from the trachea (windpipe) for bacterial growth. It’s crucial for identifying pathogens causing respiratory infections and determining their antibiotic sensitivity. This test is particularly important for patients on mechanical ventilation or those with persistent respiratory symptoms. The culture process allows for the growth and identification of bacteria present in the sample. The sensitivity test then determines which antibiotics are most effective against the identified bacteria. Results guide appropriate antibiotic therapy, helping to treat respiratory infections more effectively and prevent antibiotic resistance.
