What does the stool Culture test measure?
The Stool Culture test checks for the bacteria that cause infections in the lower digestive system by looking for their presence in the stool. This test distinguishes between the typical flora of bacteria found in the digestive system and pathogenic (disease-causing) microorganisms. A certain set of microbes typically make up the normal flora found in everyone’s digestive tract. They support proper food digestion and inhibit the spread of microorganisms that cause illness. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are one type of medication that prevents the growth of the natural flora (certain bacteria and fungi) while allowing other bacteria, such as clostridium difficile, to thrive and survive in the digestive system. Antibiotic resistance makes Clostridium difficile and challenging to treat. These disorders result in symptoms like stomach pain.
