Overview
Stool Culture and Sensitivity (C/S) is a diagnostic test that identifies the presence of pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites, in a stool sample. The test involves culturing the stool sample to grow any present microorganisms, and then identifying the specific type of microorganism. The sensitivity part of the test determines the effectiveness of various antibiotics against the identified microorganism, guiding the selection of the most appropriate antibiotic treatment. The Stool C/S test is essential for diagnosing and managing gastrointestinal infections, such as diarrhea, dysentery, and gastroenteritis.
Description
Stool Culture and Sensitivity (C/S) is a laboratory test that involves the growth and identification of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites, present in a stool sample. The test consists of two parts: culture, which involves incubating the stool sample to allow any present microorganisms to grow, and sensitivity, which determines the effectiveness of various antibiotics against the identified microorganism. The culture process typically takes 24-48 hours, after which the type and quantity of microorganisms are identified. The sensitivity testing then provides guidance on the most effective antibiotic treatment, enabling healthcare providers to prescribe targeted therapy for gastrointestinal infections and other bacterial infections.
