Culture and sensitivity, sometimes abbreviated C&S, is the process of growing a sample to ID the organism (culture) and determine which antibiotics are active against that pathogen (sensitivity).
A skin culture is a test that is done to identify the microorganism (bacteria, fungus, or virus) causing a skin infection and to determine the antibiotic or other treatment that will effectively treat the infection.
A sputum culture is done to find and identify the microorganism causing an infection of the lower respiratory. If a microorganism is found, more testing is done to determine which antibiotics will be effective in treating the infection.
Factors influencing a microorganism's capability to cause an infectious process include the microorganism's virulence factors, its ability to evade the host immune system, host factors such as immunity and underlying health conditions, environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and the route of transmission. Genomic variability and antibiotic resistance can also impact an organism's ability to cause disease.
Individuals can usually identify a stye from its accompanying symptoms. A laboratory culture of the drainage from the stye may be done to determine the causative organism
The presence of urease indicates the presence of a specific bacteria called proteus. It's useful to identify the organism to determine the correct antibiotic to cure it.
A culture and sensitivity study is done to identify the specific type of bacteria causing an infection and determine which antibiotics will be effective in treating it. This helps healthcare providers to prescribe the most appropriate antibiotic therapy for the infection, reducing the risk of antibiotic resistance and improving patient outcomes.
x ray of the foot will be taken to determine whether the bone has become infected. A sample from the wound will be cultured to identify the organism that is causing the infection so that the appropriate antibiotic can be selected
Antibiotic sensitivity disks contain a specific concentration of an antibiotic to test the susceptibility of a particular bacterial strain to that antibiotic. The zone of inhibition around the disk indicates the effectiveness of the antibiotic against the bacteria present. This method helps healthcare professionals identify the most appropriate antibiotic for treating bacterial infections.
Urine C/S stands for urine culture and sensitivity.It is used to identify the microorganism that causes the infection (culture) and to find a suitable antibiobic which is susceptible to kill the microorganism (sensitivity) Hope it would help you..
Another word for identify is "recognize" or "determine".
The correct spelling is identify (determine by name or classification).
Identify is already a verb. For example "to identify something or someone" is an action and therefore a verb.
