Description
This Gram stain is conducted on tissue samples obtained through biopsy or surgical procedures. It’s an important diagnostic tool for identifying bacterial infections in deep tissues or organs that are not easily accessible through other means. The test is particularly valuable in cases of suspected necrotizing fasciitis, gas gangrene, or other severe soft tissue infections. By rapidly identifying the presence and type of bacteria, it guides immediate treatment decisions, including the choice of antibiotics and the need for surgical intervention. This test is often performed alongside tissue culture and histopathological examination to provide a comprehensive assessment of tissue infections, especially in complex cases or immunocompromised patients.
