What is Blood Culture &Sensitivity Testing, and why is it done?

Blood Culture & Sensitivity Testing is a procedure where a sample of blood is collected to detect the presence of bacteria or fungi in the bloodstream. It helps diagnose bloodstream infections (sepsis) and identifies the specific type of microorganism causing the infection. Doctors use this information to prescribe the most effective antibiotics to treat the infection promptly.

How is Blood Culture & Sensitivity Testing performed?

During the test, a healthcare professional will clean the skin and then collect blood samples from a vein, usually in the arm. These samples are then incubated in a laboratory to allow any present bacteria or fungi to grow. Once growth is observed, the organisms are tested against various antibiotics to determine which ones are most effective in treating the infection.

How long does it take to get the results, and what do they mean?

The test typically takes a few days for results to become available as the bacteria or fungi need time to grow in the culture. Results are reported as either positive (indicating the presence of an infection) or negative. If positive, the sensitivity testing shows which antibiotics will be most successful in treating the infection, guiding doctors in prescribing the most suitable medication for effective treatment.
