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

    A Blood Culture test serves as a diagnostic tool that examines a blood sample for the presence of microorganisms like bacteria or fungi. Under normal circumstances, blood is devoid of pathogenic organisms. However, if these microorganisms are detected, it often indicates an infection, commonly known as bacteraemia, blood poisoning, or septicaemia. Such infections typically arise when pathogens from other areas of the body—such as the lungs, intestines, urinary tract, or skin—enter the bloodstream.

    Infections can also develop in individuals with compromised immune systems. This is particularly common in infants, the elderly, or individuals suffering from certain illnesses like cancer or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Furthermore, medications that suppress immune function can increase the likelihood of such infections.

    Since infections can lead to severe complications if not identified promptly, obtaining a Blood Culture and Sensitivity test is crucial for early detection. This test aids in identifying dangerous microorganisms within the blood, allowing for the swift initiation of appropriate treatment to control the infection and prevent its spread to other organs.

    Culture & Sensitivity - Aerobic (Blood) Test Parameters

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

    For this test, a blood sample is incubated in a medium that fosters microbial growth. Identification of the specific microorganisms can be achieved using a microscope or through various chemical tests. Sensitivity testing may also be performed to determine which medications are most effective against the identified pathogens. Typically, two or three blood samples are drawn from different veins to ensure comprehensive detection of any bacteria or fungi.

    Here are some essential considerations before you take the Blood Culture and Sensitivity test:
