The Culture & Sensitivity (C&S) test of bone marrow using the aerobic BACTEC system is a laboratory procedure aimed at detecting and identifying aerobic bacterial infections within the bone marrow. This test is crucial for diagnosing systemic infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients, and helps guide targeted antibiotic therapy. Bone marrow aspirate is inoculated into BACTEC aerobic culture bottles, where automated monitoring detects bacterial growth through metabolic changes. Once growth is identified, the bacteria are isolated, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing is performed to determine the most effective antibiotics. This method enhances early detection, ensures accurate identification, and aids in the selection of appropriate therapy, thereby improving patient outcomes.
