    What is Culture & Sensitivity - Aerobic (Blood) Test?

    A Blood Culture test is a diagnostic test performed on a blood sample to detect the presence of microorganisms, such as bacteria or fungi. Normally, blood is free of pathogenic bacteria or fungi. If these microorganisms are found in the blood, it usually means there is an infection. These infections are also known as bacteraemia, blood poisoning, or septicaemia and usually occur when an infection from another body part like the lungs, intestines, urinary tract, or skin spreads into the blood.

    A blood infection can also arise when the immune system is compromised. This is usually seen in infants, the elderly, or as a result of certain diseases like cancer or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Medications that affect the body's immune response can also increase the risk of such infections.

    As infections can become severe if not detected in time, getting a Blood Culture and Sensitivity test is crucial for early diagnosis. This test helps identify harmful microorganisms in the blood, allowing doctors to start appropriate treatment quickly and control the infection from spreading to other organs and causing complications.

    Culture & Sensitivity - Aerobic (Blood) Test Parameters

    The Blood Culture and Sensitivity test measures one parameter: the presence of microorganisms in the blood.

    For a blood culture, a blood sample is placed in a substance that promotes the growth of microorganisms. The specific type of microorganism can be identified using a microscope or chemical tests. Additional tests may also be performed to determine the most effective medication for treating the infection, known as sensitivity testing. Typically, two or three blood samples are taken from different veins to ensure that no bacteria or fungi are overlooked.

    Culture & Sensitivity - Aerobic (Blood) Test Preparation

    Here are some key points to consider before taking the Blood Culture and Sensitivity test:

    • Prerequisites

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    You can get this test done at any time throughout the day.

    • Chills

    • Fever or abnormally low body temperature

    • Confusion

    • Decreased frequency of urination

    • Cough

    • My experience with orange labs was really smooth. Earlier I booked for night but then someone called and asked about when did I eat and since I had to be in fast for past 8 hrs before sample collection, we rescheduled it to next morning. The sample collector came in time and process was very smooth.

    • The best experience I have had in the last two weeks with multiple tests booked for different family members. From the moment I contacted them till the receipt of the results and re-bookings for follow up tests, everything was fantastic. Pls note the sample taking covered early morning visit, for a patient aged 90+!! Initially I had made the big mistake of contacting another big-noise, big-ad spending Lab service provider based on a Google search of a particular test resulting in its top of page listing, and was utterly disgusted with that Labs' service. I would fully recommend Orange for anyone - possibly any test, any age patient. Thank you Orange Labs.
