Wound Culture and Sensitivity Testing

Wound culture and sensitivity testing involves collecting a sample from the wound to identify the bacteria causing an infection. This test helps determine the most effective antibiotics to treat the infection. It is crucial for patients with infected wounds or those at risk of infection. The test allows healthcare providers to prescribe the correct antibiotics based on the wound’s bacterial profile, ensuring that the infection is managed effectively. The benefit of this service is that it helps prevent complications and accelerates recovery by providing targeted treatment.
