CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY (OTHER SPECIMEN)

Culture and Sensitivity (Other Specimen) is a laboratory service that performs microbiological culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing on non‑routine clinical specimens collected at home or in clinic (for example wound swabs, aspirates, tissue biopsies or body fluids), identifying the causative organism and which antibiotics inhibit its growth. The result guides clinicians to select targeted antimicrobial therapy, reduces reliance on broad‑spectrum antibiotics, and is recommended for persistent, severe, atypical or treatment‑resistant infections where standard urine or blood cultures are not applicable. Touch Connect provides professional home collection across Dubai and the UAE with secure transport to accredited laboratories and timely reports to support your physician—follow any pre‑collection instructions and consult your doctor for result interpretation.
