Preparation instructions

The Cerebrospinal fluid (csf) Culture test grows and identifies any bacteria or other microorganisms present in a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sample, helping to diagnose an infection at this site and guide appropriate antibiotic treatment. A sensitivity report is typically issued alongside the culture result to show which antibiotics the organism responds to.
