About

Culture- a grown bacteria and sensitivity is an anaerobic test to do the Sensitivity analysis, also called susceptibility testing, to determine the “sensitivity” of the bacteria to an antibiotic. It helps the doctor in finding the most effective antibiotic to kill an infecting microorganism. The test is performed on a sample of pus swab to scale the level of Culture of the pathogenic organism in the pus swab. It also determines the ability of the drug to kill the bacteria.
