Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Culture and sensitivity tests are performed to determine the antibiotic(s) best suited for combating an infection, by observing the growth of bacteria under various conditions, and testing its susceptibility to different antibiotics. The tests do not involve staining or identifying the DNA of organisms, but rather aim to identify the most effective treatment option for the infection.
