- Remark
A stool culture (aerobic C-S) examines bacterial infections in the digestive tract. It helps in diagnosing:
- Food poisoning (Salmonella, E. coli, Shigella)
- Gastrointestinal infections
- Persistent diarrhea and stomach pain
A stool sample is collected and cultured (examined) under aerobic conditions to identify bacterial pathogens.
The stool bacteria needs to grow and then can be detected accurately. Thus, it usually takes 2 to 4 days for accurate examination.
No major precautions are to be taken. You just need to avoid:
- Antibiotics or probiotics (can affect bacterial growth)
Certain foods that may interfere with results
