Stool Culture & Sensitivity Testing is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of harmful bacteria or parasites in the stool. It involves collecting a small sample of stool and analyzing it in a laboratory to identify the specific microorganisms causing an infection.

This test is conducted to help diagnose gastrointestinal infections or diseases caused by bacteria or parasites. Symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever could indicate an infection, and this test helps identify the exact culprit, guiding doctors in prescribing appropriate treatments, such as antibiotics or antiparasitic medications.

To collect a stool sample, a clean container is provided by the healthcare provider. A small amount of stool is then passed into the container and securely sealed. It's important to avoid contamination from urine or water. The sample is then sent to a lab for analysis, which usually takes a few days to provide results.
