What Is a Swab Culture Test?

A swab culture test is a diagnostic procedure used to identify the type of microorganism causing an infection. By analysing the sample in a laboratory, healthcare professionals can determine the exact bacteria or fungus responsible.

Purpose of the Swab Culture

This test not only identifies the infectious organism but also evaluates its sensitivity to different antibiotics. This ensures that the most effective treatment can be prescribed for the specific infection.

Common Testing Sites

Swab cultures can be taken from various areas of the body depending on the symptoms, including the throat, skin, wounds, or other affected sites. The exam is noted as: C: Any Site.
