CULTURE IDENTIFICATION AND SENSITIVITY, ANAEROBIC (UMBILICAL WASHING SOLUTION)

This anaerobic culture and sensitivity test on umbilical washing solution isolates and identifies anaerobic organisms from the umbilical area and determines their antibiotic susceptibility to guide targeted antimicrobial therapy. It is used when umbilical stump infection or persistent local inflammation is suspected or when empirical treatment has failed, enabling clinicians to select effective, narrow‑spectrum antibiotics and reduce the risk of resistance. Samples can be collected at home in Dubai by a trained collector or via a provided kit in anaerobic transport media and processed in a certified laboratory (preliminary results commonly within 48–72 hours); accurate collection technique and clinician review are essential for reliable interpretation and treatment decisions.
