Overview of the Wound Swab Culture and Sensitivity Test

A wound swab culture and sensitivity test are performed to detect the presence of pathogenic bacteria in a wound that may potentially be infected. The test also identifies the bacteria that may be causing the infection. A wound, which may be a superficial break in the skin, or which may involve deeper tissues, may get infected by various types of bacteria. A wound swab culture test helps identify the bacteria behind the infection as well as determine the antibiotics that can be used to treat the wound. The wound swab test is performed on a sample of fluid, tissue, or cells from the wound. On collecting the wound swab for culture and sensitivity testing, the swab is placed in nutrient media, which encourages the growth of bacteria that may be present in the collected sample. Mostly, it is only one kind of bacteria. However, the sample collected by the wound swab for culture and sensitivity testing may include different types of normal skin bacteria as well. Separating the different types of bacteria typically takes time. A Gram stain can be used to determine the type of bacteria that is present for quick wound swab culture results. Max Lab is an NABL-accredited diagnostics centre that offers a range of diagnostic tests, including the wound swab culture and sensitivity test. The price of the wound swab culture and sensitivity test can be checked online. It is also quite simple to book a wound swab culture and sensitivity test online at the nearest Max Lab or opt for an at-home sample collection.
