SPECIAL MICROBIOLOGY
Drain fluid for C/S two sites ( Bactec + Vitek 2)
Also Known As:
Drain Fluid C/S
About This Test
This test is performed on drain fluid collected from any two surgical or body cavity drain (e.g., abdominal drain, pelvic drain, chest drain, JP drain, ICD tube).
It checks for bacterial or fungal infection in the drained fluid.
The test uses two advanced automated systems:
1. BACTEC System – for rapid detection of microorganisms
2. VITEK 2 System – for identification & antibiotic sensitivity
This test helps clinicians identify the exact organism causing drain-related infectio and choose the most effective antibiotic based on sensitivity.

This test is important because it provides definitive diagnosis and guides effective treatment.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
