Preparation for the study

General

  • The material should be taken before the first dose of antibiotic.
  • The culture is performed for aerobic bacteria.

Important

An antibiogram is also performed as part of the culture. If the bacteria constitute a natural bacterial flora, not forming the basis for an antibiogram, then it is not performed.
Antibiogram is performed when we get the growth of pathogenic bacteria (responsible for the infection)-where the inflammatory process is going on.

If further microbiological diagnosis is required, the time for issuing the result may be prolonged.

It is possible to analyze a swab brought from outside, provided that the material was taken by a doctor/medical staff. We do not accept material taken independently by the patient.
