Overview
Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi. These can spread directly or indirectly from person to person. These diseases often lead to various symptoms, depending on the specific infectious agent involved. The OT Microbiological Surveillance Panel, Bacterial and Fungal, is a test used to monitor operating theatre (OT) environments for bacterial and fungal contamination. This helps ensure aseptic conditions, minimizing the risk of surgical site infections during procedures. The test analyzes samples from surfaces and air within the OT to identify potential pathogens that could pose a threat to patient safety.
