Description
The test is performed for the most optimal selection of drug therapy for the disease, as well as in case of ineffectiveness of treatment prescribed without performing this study. The disadvantage of this method is its duration, but an undeniable advantage is considered the possibility of determining the titer of microorganisms and their susceptibility to drugs. Susceptibility is not determined in case of scanty growth.
When microorganisms constituting normal microflora or conditionally pathogenic microorganisms are detected by the microbiological method in a titer less than diagnostic, susceptibility to antibiotics and bacteriophages is not determined, since this amount is not significant and does not require treatment with antimicrobial drugs.
Indications for ordering tests:
1. Diagnosis and selection of drug therapy for inflammatory diseases of the urogenital system (urogenital infections)
2. Planning of pregnancy
3. Casual sexual contacts
If it is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of antibacterial therapy, the study is conducted on the 10-14th day after drug withdrawal.
* The set of antibiotics depends on the isolated microorganism and the commercial test system, which is currently provided by the manufacturer in accordance with modern recommendations / available for purchase in this region.
