Culture, Wound, Superficial

Culture, Wound, Superficial is a laboratory test used to detect and identify microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, from superficial (surface) wound infections. This test is essential for diagnosing infections in wounds such as cuts, abrasions, or burns that affect only the outer layers of the skin. During the procedure, a sample is collected from the surface of the wound using a sterile swab. The collected material is then cultured on specific media that support the growth of microorganisms.
