Stool for C/S Price in Bangladesh

What is Stool for C/S?

A stool culture and sensitivity (C/S) test is used to identify bacterial infections in the gastrointestinal tract. The procedure involves collecting a sample of stool, which is then sent to a laboratory for culture.

The culture allows bacteria in the sample to grow, and once identified, the lab can determine which antibiotics are most effective in treating the infection through sensitivity testing. This test is typically used when there is suspicion of bacterial infections such as Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter, Escherichia coli (E. coli), or Clostridium difficile.

The results usually take a few days, depending on the bacteria being cultured.

What to expect & how to prepare

Stool 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 Stool for C/S result rather than self-diagnosing.
