Preparation for the study

General

  • Immediately prior to swab collection (minimum 1 hour) do not: eat,drink sugary drinks/juices, chew gum, brush teeth or use mouthwash as well as lozenges and smoke.
    The material should be taken before the first dose of antibiotic.
    Culture is performed for aerobic bacteria.
    Collection of specimens takes place at the collection point/treatment room.

Important

An antibiogram is also performed as part of the culture. If the bacteria constitute a natural bacterial flora, not forming the basis for an antibiogram, then it is not performed.
Antibiogram is performed when we get the growth of pathogenic bacteria (responsible for the infection)-where the inflammatory process is going on.

If further microbiological diagnosis is required, the time for issuing the result may be prolonged.

It is possible to analyze a swab brought from outside, provided that the material was taken by a doctor/medical staff. We do not accept material taken independently by the patient.
