Check Your Digestive Health: Stool Culture & Susceptibility Test
The Stool Culture & Susceptibility Test is a key diagnostic tool used to identify harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria in your digestive system. This test not only isolates the specific microorganisms causing the infection but also determines their resistance or sensitivity to various antibiotics, helping healthcare providers develop targeted treatment plans.
This test is especially important for individuals experiencing symptoms like persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, or blood in the stool. It is also crucial for those with recurrent gastrointestinal infections or compromised immune systems.
