What does it measure?

The Stool Culture test measures: The presence of bacteria in the stool, which are responsible for the infection in the lower digestive tract. This test differentiates between pathogenic (disease-causing) and the normal flora bacteria that are present in the digestive tract. Certain microorganisms are generally part of the normal flora that is present in everyone’s digestive tract. They aid in food digestion and also keep a check on the growth of disease-causing bacteria. Certain medicines, such as broad-spectrum antibiotics, obstruct the growth of the normal flora (certain bacteria and fungi) and let other bacteria, such as clostridium difficile, grow and survive in the digestive tract. Clostridium difficile is resistant to antibiotics, which makes it difficult to treat. These conditions lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhoea.
