Description
Blood Culture and Sensitivity is a crucial diagnostic test used to identify bloodstream infections (septicemia). The process involves incubating a blood sample to encourage the growth of any present microorganisms. If growth occurs, the microbes are identified, and their susceptibility to various antibiotics is tested. This information is vital for selecting the most appropriate antibiotic treatment, especially in cases of severe infections or sepsis. The test typically takes several days to complete, providing detailed information about the causative organism and its antibiotic resistance profile.
