The "wound culture" is a fairly common laboratory test ordered when a physician, PA, or NP wants to know: 1.) exactly what microorganism is causing a wound infection and 2.) exactly what anti-microbial drug to to treat the infection.
Most commonly, a nurse or doctor will use a sterile swab to collect material from the wound. The swab is sent to the laboratory to be "plated." This simply means a medical technologist will drag the swab over a variety of "growth media" (petri dishes with firm, jelly like material and nutrients in them) and then incubate the petri dishes at controlled temperatures and gas concentrations.
It takes a highly trained person to look at one of these petri dishes after it has been incubated to tell if there are any pathogens growing (pathogens are microorganisms that can cause disease or infection.) Once the medical technologist finds suspicious colonies growing (colonies are millions of bacteria piled up on the petri dish that look like small dots - and can be many different colors) they do a gram stain test, biochemical testing, and an antibiotic test to determine what the organism is and how best to treat it. You can think of it like microbiology detective work.
Many times bacteria are found, but fungi can also be found!
In most cases, the bacteria and antibiotic susceptibility profile will be complete in 2-3 days. Fungi and "acid-fast" bacteria like the Tuberculosis bacilli, can take much longer 7 days to months!

Wound that keeps opening draining pus?
It may mean that the wound is healing properly and your body is simply expelling any fluid that could prevent the wound from getting better. On the other hand, if the wound is draining a large amount of pus, it could mean that the wound itself is becoming infected, in which case, it would be best to see a doctor.
A blood clot on a wound can best be compared to?
A blood clot on a wound can be compared to a natural bandage that helps stop bleeding. It forms as a response to injury to prevent excessive blood loss and protect the wound from infection. Over time, the clot hardens and eventually falls off as the wound heals.
Is it normal to have 3 plus mixed skin flora within a wound?
Normal skin flora is a combination of many types of micro-organisms, including bacteria, viruses and yeast. When a wound occurs, some "normal flora" are introduced into the wound, especially in a penetrating wound such as a stabbing or shooting. When a wound culture is performed, the pathologist looks for "normal flora" which could become pathogens if the organisms begin to multiply, especially since those organisms of the normal flora are now in a place they should not normally be (i.e. transferred from the skin to inside the body, in a blood-rich environment). The pathologist also looks for other pathogens, such as the once-normal flora of the assailant or perpetrator which could infect the new host (the person with the wound).
