CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY (LOW VAGINAL SWAB)

The Culture and Sensitivity (Low Vaginal Swab) is a microbiological test performed on a swab from the lower vagina to identify bacteria, yeasts or other pathogens and to determine which antibiotics or antifungals will effectively treat them. With discreet at‑home collection across Dubai, samples are sent to accredited laboratories where organisms are cultured and sensitivity panels run—results commonly return within 48–72 hours to support targeted therapy and reduce antimicrobial resistance. This test is recommended for women with abnormal discharge, itching, recurrent infections or prior to gynaecological procedures; avoid douching or sexual intercourse for 24–48 hours before sampling and consult your physician in the UAE to interpret results and plan treatment.

• Aerobic bacterial culture and identification (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Gardnerella spp.)
• Candida species identification (Candida albicans and non‑albicans)
• Anaerobic bacterial culture
• Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (disk diffusion / MIC with clinical interpretation)
• Colony count and mixed flora / flora dominance report

• Discreet low vaginal swab collection at home by trained female healthcare professionals across Dubai
• Laboratory culture to identify common bacterial and fungal vaginal pathogens
• Comprehensive antibiotic and antifungal sensitivity panel to guide targeted therapy
• DHA-accredited laboratory processing with typical 48–72 hour turnaround for culture and sensitivity
• Secure electronic report delivered for consultation and prescription with your UAE clinician

• Accurate identification of vaginal pathogens from a low vaginal swab, including bacterial overgrowth, Candida species and trichomonas
• Phenotypic culture with antibiotic and antifungal sensitivity profile to support targeted, evidence-based treatment
• Discreet at-home collection by trained female staff across Dubai, following strict infection-control and privacy protocols
• Processed in accredited Dubai laboratories with secure digital reports suitable for your physician or specialist
• Recommended for recurrent infections, persistent symptoms, pregnancy screening (including Group B Streptococcus) or failed empirical therapy

• Discreet low vaginal swab collection at home across Dubai by trained female clinicians on request
• Laboratory culture detects bacterial and fungal pathogens and performs antibiotic sensitivity testing
• Detailed sensitivity report to guide targeted treatment with results typically within 48–72 hours
• Recommended for recurrent vaginitis, symptomatic infections, or pre-procedure screening (e.g., IUD insertion)
