Culture & Sensitivity, Aerobic bacteria - Body Fluids Overview
Purulent infections are characterized by presence of pus cells (WBC) at the site of infection. The infection can occur in the brain, abdomen, pleura and other body sites leading to collection of purulent body fluids (for e.g., CSF, pleural fluid, ascitic fluid) These infections are caused by multiple pathogens but commonly due to pyogenic bacteria, most commonly Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella or E. coli. This test cultures body fluids from the patient to identify the causative bacterium and also to establish as to which antibiotic can be used to treat the infection.
