Sputum Culture and Sensitivity (Aerobic) near me in Howrah

The Sputum Culture and Sensitivity (Aerobic) test helps identify the presence and type of bacteria responsible for respiratory tract infections in a sputum sample. It differentiates between pathogenic bacteria and normal flora in the respiratory tract, and also helps determine which antibiotics are most effective against the identified bacteria. This test is available in Howrah with Tata 1mg at an affordable price.

The Sputum Culture and Sensitivity (Aerobic) is recommended when you experience symptoms suggestive of respiratory  infections including persistent cough, production of phlegm or sputum, chest pain, fever, and difficulty breathing. It may also be done in cases of chronic lung diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis, etc., where frequent monitoring for infection is critical.

No special preparation is required for this test. However, to minimize contamination from oral bacteria, it’s recommended to rinse the mouth with water before sample collection.
