Throat sampling swabs are mainly used to collect samples of bacteria, viruses, and DNA from the pharynx, which helps in the diagnosis of diphtheria, purulent tonsillitis, and acute pharyngitis.
If pathogenic bacteria are detected in the throat sampling swab secretions, it is considered a respiratory infection. This can be combined with other tests (X-ray fluoroscopy, ultrasound, etc.) to diagnose the site of respiratory tract infection. If yeast-like organisms are cultured then consider whether antibiotics were used inappropriately or in excess during the infection and antibiotics should be stopped immediately and replaced with antifungal drugs such as amphotericin B, ashwagandha, clotrimazole, etc.
Throat sampling swabs
Common pathogenic bacteria are.
1, gram-positive bacteria: there are Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, beta-hemolytic streptococcus, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Candida, etc.
2, gram-negative bacteria: there are Neisseria meningitidis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Haemophilus, Moraxella, Cataplasma boulardii, Mycobacterium pertussis, Enterobacter, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and alkali-producing bacilli, etc. If Mycobacterium tuberculosis is cultured, it is tuberculosis.
3、Pertussis: The corresponding bacteria can be isolated from the pharynx of diphtheria patients.
4., acute pharyngitis: nasal abscesses are mostly caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus hemolyticus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
5., pharyngeal infections are caused by many anaerobic bacteria.
