E. Coli 0157 Bacterial Load Test
Cost: AED 1520.0
Test Details:
The E. Coli 0157 bacterial load test is a diagnostic test used to determine the presence and quantity of E. Coli 0157 bacteria in a sample. This particular strain of E. Coli is known to produce a toxin that can cause severe illness, including bloody diarrhea and kidney damage.
The test typically involves taking a sample from a patient’s stool, although it can also be done on other bodily fluids or food samples. The sample is then cultured in a laboratory to allow the bacteria to grow and multiply. Once the bacteria have grown, they can be identified and counted.
The results of the test are reported as the number of colony-forming units (CFUs) per milliliter of sample. A high bacterial load indicates a greater risk of illness and may require immediate medical intervention.
The E. Coli 0157 bacterial load test is commonly used in outbreak investigations, food safety inspections, and clinical diagnosis of E. Coli infections. It helps to identify the source of contamination and determine the severity of the infection.
It is important to note that the E. Coli 0157 bacterial load test is specific to this particular strain of E. Coli and does not detect other strains or types of bacteria. Other tests may be required to identify and quantify different types of bacteria in a sample.
