Culture & Sensitivity, Aerobic bacteria - Blood Two bottle set Overview
Bacterial infection of blood or bacteraemia occurs most often secondary to a lung, urinary tract, skin or other infections. Patient can have fever, chills, rapid heart rate, low blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, difficulty in breathing among other symptoms. Early diagnosis is crucial and life saving. It is caused by multiple pathogens but commonly due to pyogenic bacteria, most commonly Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella or E. coli. This test cultures blood sample from the patient to identify the causative bacterium and also to establish as to which antibiotic can be used to treat the infection. Collecting a paired sample (2 blood culture bottles) significantly increases chances of isolation of causative agent.
