Most Frequently asked Tests

FAQ

How are samples collected for microbiology testing?

Samples are collected using various methods, depending on the type of test. For example, blood samples are usually drawn through a needle, urine samples are collected in a sterile container, and swabs in transport media may be used for samples from the throat, skin, or genital areas.

How long does it take to get microbiology test results?

The turnaround time for microbiology test results varies depending on the type of test and the specific microorganism being identified. Some tests may provide results within a day, while others, such as culture-based tests, may take 2-3 days.

What is antibiotic susceptibility testing, and why is it important?

Antibiotic susceptibility testing determines which antibiotics are effective against a specific bacterial strain. This helps doctors choose the most appropriate and targeted antibiotic treatment, reducing the risk of antibiotic resistance.

What is a PCR test?

A PCR test is a molecular diagnostic technique used to detect the presence of genetic material, such as DNA or RNA. Your doctor may suggest a PCR test to diagnose infectious diseases, including viral infections like COVID-19, or for genetic testing.

How accurate are microbiology test results?

Microbiology test accuracy depends on various factors, including the type of test and the quality of the sample. We at Triesta Sciences follow stringent quality control measures to ensure accurate and reliable results.
