Preparation for the examination

General

  • The test material is a swab from the anal walls.
    On the day of the test, the anal area should be washed without using soap or gels.

Important

As part of the culture, an antibiogram is also performed. If the bacteria are part of the normal bacterial flora and do not warrant an antibiogram, then one is not performed.
An antibiogram is performed when we observe the growth of pathogenic bacteria (responsible for the infection) - where the inflammatory process is taking place.

If further microbiological diagnostics are necessary, the time it takes to issue the result may be longer.

Description

We perform cultures for aerobic bacteria. We do not perform cultures for anaerobic bacteria.
As part of the culture, an antibiogram is also performed. If the bacteria are part of the normal bacterial flora and do not warrant an antibiogram, then one is not performed.
An antibiogram is performed when pathogenic bacteria (responsible for infection) are grown in the area where the inflammatory process is ongoing.
