Know More about CULTURE EYE SWAB AEROBIC SENSITIVTY
The Culture Aerobic Eye Swab Test is a laboratory test used to assess eyes for potential bacterial infections. The test can take a few minutes, the eye will have a small sample collected for analysis, which will identify the bacteria responsible for any infection. It will also help your doctor determine which antibiotic to use if needed. The reason for testing is all related to a timely and accurate treatment and reducing complications and the potential of worsening the infection or spreading.
Process
- A sterile swab will be used to sample the surface of the eye or any discharge from the eye.
- The specimen will be processed by the lab to grow the aerobic bacteria and identify them.
- Antibiotic sensitivity testing can also be done to match and determine the right treatment.
When to Get Tested
You may consider this test if you have symptoms that include redness, pain, (blurred) vision changes, swelling, and other combinations of symptoms remain unchanged. Testing would also be useful in cases of recurrent eye infections or serious infections before initiating antibiotics.
Sample Type
A sterile swab from conjunctiva or eye discharge is needed.
Test Preparation
You will not need to do anything special to prepare for the test. Do not use eye drops and do not wear contact lenses, unless directed by your doctor.
Understanding Your Results
A positive result indicates a bacterial infection and the type of antibiotic that will work best. A negative result suggests you may have a viral, fungal, or non-infectious cause that may require further evaluation or alternative testing.
