Chlamydia pneumoniae - a bacterium that causes upper respiratory tract infections. The test is performed to confirm the etiological factor of the infection.

The test is performed to identify the agent that caused the infection in the wound.

Smear culture of skin lesions allows diagnosis of the presence of bacteria (aerobic or anaerobic) that are the cause of superficial skin infections (in conditions such as acne, impetigo, diabetic or runner's foot, ulcers, sores, superinfections in the course of rashes).

The examination of skin cultures makes it possible to assess what type of bacteria is responsible for the occurrence of a particular disease in a patient, while determining to which drug the pathogen is most sensitive, for the application of the most optimal therapeutic substance.

Microbiological test to detect microorganismsós called group B Streptococcus.

Microbiological testing, whichóre aimed at assessing the speciesóof bacteria in the biological material provided. In this case, it is the content obtained from the góral respiratory tract, that is, the segment from the nasal cavity to the vocal folds (cords), behind which the trachea begins.

Smear examination is ordered in diagnostic procedures for suspected fungal, especiallyóreactive yeast-like fungi, in order to differentiate them from those of others, by bacteria or viruses.

Microbiological test for detecting the presence of anaerobic bacteria.
