Description
This Gram stain is performed on pus samples collected from abscesses, wound infections, or other sites of purulent discharge. It’s a rapid diagnostic test that helps identify the presence and type of bacteria causing the infection. The results of this test are crucial for guiding initial antibiotic therapy, as it can distinguish between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. This information is particularly valuable in managing severe or complicated infections, where prompt and appropriate treatment is essential. The test also aids in determining the need for surgical intervention, such as abscess drainage, and helps in monitoring the effectiveness of ongoing treatments.
