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

Buccal Swab for C/S is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Buccal Swab for C/S result rather than self-diagnosing.
