Culture & Sensitivity, Aerobic bacteria - Tissue/Biopsy Overview
Purulent infections are characterized by production of pus. They are caused by multiple pathogens but commonly due to pyogenic bacteria, most commonly Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas or E. coli. Purulent infection can develop in the form of the disease (furuncle, carbuncle, erysipelas, osteomyelitis, etc.), or as a complication of the wound which can be surgical also. This test cultures tissue/ samples from biopsy to identify the causative bacterium and also to establish as to which antibiotic can be used to treat the infection.
