Description
Anaerobic Culture & Identification is a specialized laboratory procedure used to isolate and identify bacteria that grow in the absence of oxygen. This test is crucial for diagnosing infections caused by anaerobic organisms, which are often found in deep tissue infections, abscesses, and certain types of pneumonia. The process involves careful sample collection to prevent oxygen exposure, incubation in oxygen-free conditions, and subsequent identification of bacterial species. Results from this test help healthcare providers select the most effective antibiotics for treatment, as anaerobic bacteria often require specific antimicrobial agents.
