Frequently Asked Questions
What does Aerobic C&S Fungul test detect?
It identifies aerobic bacterial pathogens and fungi (yeast or mold) from clinical specimens and determines which antibiotics and antifungals will effectively treat the infection.
Do I need to fast before this test?
No, fasting is not required regardless of the sample type — urine, sputum, or any clinical fluid.
How long does it take to get results?
Bacterial culture results are typically available within 24–48 hours. Fungal culture may take 3–7 days depending on the organism. Final sensitivity report is issued after identification is confirmed.
Can antibiotics affect the result?
Yes, prior or ongoing antibiotic/antifungal therapy can suppress microbial growth and cause a false-negative result. Inform your doctor about all medications before collection.
What sample types are accepted?
Any clinical specimen is accepted including urine, sputum, wound swabs, body fluids (CSF, pleural, ascitic), and other sterile site samples collected in a sterile container.
