General Information

The esophageal airways are inhabited by a bacterial flora that includes more than 200 species of bacteria found in gingival fissures, mucous membranes of the tongue and cheeks, oropharynx, tonsillar crypts, and nasopharynx where anaerobes are found. Bacteriological examination of the throat smear facilitates the correct diagnostics of infections caused by local bacterial microflora and the timely initiation of antibiotic therapy.

When should we take the test?

Sore throat;
high temperature;
Enlarged lymph nodes in the neck;
Asymptomatic carcinoma of group A streptococcus is observed in about 20% of cases.

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 (Candida spp.) 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.
