Stool Analysis detects the presence of pathogenic microorganisms such as yeast, parasites, and bacteria which contribute to chronic illness and neurological dysfunction. It provides helpful information about prescription and natural products effective against specific microorganism strains detected in the sample. The test also evaluates beneficial bacteria levels, intestinal immune function, overall intestinal health (presence of occult blood, short chain fatty acids analysis, pH, and mucus) and inflammation markers

A TSI test is generally used for the identification of enteric bacteria.
get bacteria strips at the store and test it with different things
Gelatin Hydrolysis Test
The test has no harmful effects.
They test stool for a lot of things, but drugs, so far as I know, are not one of the things they test it for. (Mostly stool samples are tested for bacteria and blood.) To test stool for drugs they'd have to liquify it, for starters. It would just be easier to ask for urine instead of stool.
Stool culture is a test to identify bacteria in patients with a suspected infection of the digestive tract.
Mostly stool samples are tested for bacteria and blood. To test stool for drugs they'd have to liquify it so it would just be easier to ask for urine instead of stool.
If a doctor suspects your infant or child may be lactose intolerant (Unable to digest the enzymes present in cows milk) he or she may request an acidity stool test, to check for the bacteria which are an indicator of this condition.
The stool O and P test is the stool ova and parasites test. In this test, a stool sample is examined for the presence of intestinal parasites and their eggs, which are called ova.
The test commonly used to detect microorganisms in feces is a stool culture. In this test, a sample of the feces is cultured in a laboratory setting to identify any pathogenic bacteria or other microorganisms present. The results can help determine the cause of an infection or illness.
One may be referring to an heme-occult stool test - a test whereby one determines whether there is blood in the stool or not.
That would refer to having another stool test (testing fecal matter for blood).A re-test is a do over.
Negative blood in stool test means no blood was found in that particular smear from that particular stool sample. Good news.
A collection of a urine sample, blood sample or other body fluid samples are cultured in medium and analysed with for sensitivity. A "C&S" is a diagnostic lab procedure used to identify the type of bacteria and to determine which antibiotics can successfully fight an infection. C&S is primarily used to find bacteria. The absence of bacteria does not mean there is no infection, since it could be a virus that will not grow in a specific culture medium.
