About This Test
The Culture Growth for Identification & Sensitivity test is a microbiological test used to detect the presence of infectious microorganisms (bacteria or fungi) in a clinical sample, identify the exact organism causing the infection, and determine which antimicrobial drugs (antibiotics or antifungals) will effectively treat it. A sample can be blood, urine, pus, sputum, throat swab, wound swab, stool, body fluids, etc. This test helps identify exact cause of infection, provides targeted treatment rather than broad-spectrum antibiotics.
