Culture and Sensitivity, Tissue

Description

This test involves culturing a tissue sample to identify any bacterial or fungal growth within the tissue. It’s particularly useful for diagnosing deep tissue infections, abscesses, or infections in surgical sites. The culture helps determine the specific microorganisms present in the tissue, while the sensitivity test identifies which antibiotics would be most effective against them. This information is crucial for healthcare providers to diagnose tissue infections accurately and prescribe the most appropriate treatment, which is essential for preventing the spread of infection and promoting proper healing.
