CULTURE BODY FLUID (BD BACTEC)
₹1,000.00
The Culture Body Fluid (BD BACTEC) test is used to detect the presence of microorganisms, such as bacteria or fungi, in various body fluids (e.g., pleural fluid, peritoneal fluid, synovial fluid, or cerebrospinal fluid). This test uses the BD BACTEC system , an advanced automated method for microbial culture and detection. It helps identify infections in normally sterile body cavities and fluids.
The BD BACTEC system provides rapid microbial growth detection, allowing for timely diagnosis and treatment. This test is essential in diagnosing infections such as peritonitis, septic arthritis, or infections related to implanted devices. It also helps determine the appropriate antibiotics or antifungal agents for treatment by identifying the specific microorganism and its sensitivity.
