Бак посев из носоглотки на респираторные инфекции (A.R.I. WELL D‐ONE)

Aerobic and facultative anaerobic culture (routine bacterial culture) isolates and identifies the etiologic agent of suspected infection from a clinically relevant specimen. The test supports selection of targeted antimicrobial therapy by performing antibiotic susceptibility testing (culture and sensitivity) and can be used to assess therapeutic response through organism clearance or reduction in growth.

Humans host a complex normal microbiota on skin and mucosal surfaces. The greatest proportion—approximately 40%—resides in the gastrointestinal tract, with the remainder distributed across the skin, oropharynx, urogenital tract, and other sites. Within this community, resident microorganisms constitute up to 90% of organisms present, facultative members account for less than 10%, and transient flora typically comprise no more than 0.5%. Microorganisms are also classified by pathogenic potential: nonpathogenic species do not cause disease; opportunistic (conditionally pathogenic) organisms can proliferate under favorable conditions and trigger inflammation; and pathogenic organisms act as primary etiologic agents and are not part of the normal flora. Bacteriologic culture of aerobic and facultative anaerobic flora characterizes both the qualitative and quantitative composition of microorganisms recovered from clinical material and enables identification of pathogens. When opportunistic organisms are detected in high titer or when pathogenic organisms are isolated, antimicrobial susceptibility testing is performed—typically to antibiotics and, where applicable, to bacteriophages—to inform targeted therapy.
