Buccal Swab for C/S Price in Bangladesh

What is Buccal Swab for C/S?

A buccal swab for C/S (Culture and Sensitivity) is a diagnostic procedure used to collect a sample of cells or bacteria from the inside of the cheek for laboratory testing. A cotton swab is rubbed against the mucosal lining of the cheek to gather cells, mucus, or any potential pathogens.

This sample is then sent to a laboratory where it is cultured to identify any bacterial, fungal, or viral infections. Sensitivity testing helps determine which antibiotics or antifungals will be most effective for treatment.

This test is commonly used for diagnosing oral infections, such as bacterial or fungal mouth infections. Risks are minimal, typically limited to slight discomfort during the swabbing.

What to expect & how to prepare

A culture test looks for bacteria or other organisms in a sample and checks which antibiotics act against them. The sample is incubated in the laboratory, so this test needs more time than a routine blood report.

• Antibiotics: tell the laboratory if you have already started an antibiotic — it can change the result. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
• Sample collection: the correct sample and the way it is collected depend on the site being tested; the laboratory will instruct you or collect it for you.
• Timing: culture results take longer than routine tests because the organisms must grow first. Ask the laboratory when your report is expected.

Interpreted together with your symptoms — antibiotic choice should be made by a registered doctor, not from the report alone.
