Culture and Sensitivity, Ear/Eye Swab

Description

This test involves culturing samples taken from the ear or eye to identify infectious organisms. It’s commonly used to diagnose conditions like otitis externa, conjunctivitis, or other localized infections. The culture process allows for the growth and identification of bacteria or fungi present in the sample. Sensitivity testing then determines which antibiotics or antifungal medications will be most effective against the identified pathogens, enabling targeted and efficient treatment of ear or eye infections.
