Staphylococcus aureus culture with antibiotic sensitivity determination (urine, urethra, vagina, cervical canal, semen, prostate secretion, bile, CSF, pleural fluid, sputum, wound, throat/nasal/oral/ear/conjunctival swab, etc.)
Detects Staphylococcus aureus in various biomaterials. Confirms bacterial infection and helps select effective antibiotic based on pathogen sensitivity.
Deviation mechanism: S. aureus — an opportunistic bacterium present on skin and mucous membranes; causes inflammation when immunity decreases. Culture grows bacteria, determines quantity and antibiotic sensitivity.
Recommended for: bacterial infection signs; chronic or recurrent inflammations; before antibiotics; when previous treatment is ineffective.
Urine, urethral/vaginal/cervical swab, semen, prostate secretion, bile, CSF, pleural fluid, sputum, wound discharge, throat/nasal/oral/ear/conjunctival swab, etc.
Depends on biomaterial type
Preferably collect before antibiotic therapy
Inform physician of antibiotic intake
Skin and soft tissue inflammatory diseases; purulent wounds and abscesses; frequent tonsillitis, sinusitis, otitis; urogenital system inflammations; suspected staphylococcal infection at any site.
Staphylococcus aureus detected — bacterial count and antibiotic sensitivity list provided.
Not detected — staphylococcus not found.
Physician makes final assessment.
Note: Sensitivity testing only when clinically significant organism detected.
Recommended physicians: Urologist/Gynecologist (urogenital); ENT specialist (throat/nasal/ear); Surgeon/Dermatologist (skin/wounds); General Practitioner.
