Manual Blood Culture Test

The Manual Blood Culture test uses conventional (non-automated) aerobic and anaerobic culture methods to detect microorganisms in a patient’s blood. Critical in diagnosing sepsis, septicemia, endocarditis, or chronic bacteremia, it helps pinpoint bloodstream infections. When positive, the culture is identified and tested for antibiotic susceptibility when appropriate to guide effective antimicrobial therapy.
