    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

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    • Fever or abnormally low body temperature

    • Confusion
