Bacteriological examination of throat swab

Possible interpretation of the results

The results obtained may indicate:

• • On the presence of growth of normal microbial flora of the throat;
  • Pathogenic microorganisms (beta-hemolytic streptococci of groups A, C and G) and yeast-like fungi (Candidaspp.) on existence;
  • On representatives of conditionally pathogenic flora (e.g. Staphylococcus aureus);
  • On the susceptibility of pathogens to antibiotics;

An antibiotic test (sensitivity to antibiotics) is done if:

• Pathogenic bacteria (at any concentration);
• Conditionally-pathogenic bacteria or yeast-like fungi (Candida) With moderate or abundant growth - In other cases, when a slight or small increase is seen, an antibiotic is not done.

In interpretation Should Consider Of the patient Complaints,Clinical Photo და Designated Therapy solution.
