**Stool culture and sensitivity** is a laboratory test used to identify and determine the susceptibility of pathogenic microorganisms in a stool sample. Here’s how it works: - **Stool Culture:** The stool sample is cultured in a lab to grow bacteria, fungi, or other pathogens present in the gastrointestinal tract. This helps in identifying the specific organism causing symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, or gastrointestinal infections. - **Sensitivity Testing:** Once the pathogens are identified, sensitivity testing is performed to determine which antibiotics or antifungal agents are effective in inhibiting or killing the microorganisms. This helps in selecting the most appropriate treatment to effectively treat the infection. **Clinical Use:** - **Diagnosis:** Helps diagnose infectious causes of gastrointestinal symptoms. - **Treatment:** Guides targeted antibiotic or antifungal therapy to ensure effective treatment and minimize resistance development. This test is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management of infections affecting the digestive system.
