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

    A Blood Culture test is a diagnostic procedure used to assess a blood sample for microorganisms such as bacteria or fungi. Under normal conditions, blood is free of harmful pathogens. The presence of these microorganisms typically indicates an infection, commonly known as bacteraemia, blood poisoning, or septicaemia. Infections often occur when pathogens from other regions of the body, like the lungs, intestines, urinary tract, or skin, enter the bloodstream.

    Blood infections can also arise in individuals with weakened immune systems. This situation is particularly prevalent in infants, the elderly, or those affected by certain diseases like cancer or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Additionally, medications that modulate immune response can increase the likelihood of these infections.

    Given that infections can become severe if not promptly detected, it is essential to undergo a Blood Culture and Sensitivity test for early diagnosis. This test assists in identifying harmful microorganisms in the bloodstream, enabling healthcare professionals to initiate appropriate treatment quickly and prevent the infection from spreading to other organs and causing complications.

    Culture & Sensitivity - Aerobic (Blood) Test Parameters

    The Blood Culture and Sensitivity test evaluates a single aspect: the detection of microorganisms in the bloodstream.

    For the test, a blood sample is introduced to a medium that promotes the growth of these microorganisms. The specific types can be identified using microscopy or chemical assays. Sensitivity testing is also often conducted to identify the most effective medications for treating the infection. Usually, two or three samples are drawn from different veins to ensure thorough detection of any potential bacteria or fungi.

    • Chills

    • Fever or low body temperature

    • Confusion

    • Decreased frequency of urination

    • Cough

    ● Cautions Before Taking a Blood Culture Test Antibiotics can slow the growth of the bacteria causing the infection. Make sure to inform your doctor about any medications you are currently taking prior to the test.
