Bacteriological culture of prostate secretion is a laboratory test that helps to identify pathogens of nonspecific inflammatory diseases of the urogenital tract (primarily opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms, as well as yeast-like fungi). As part of this analysis, the sensitivity of the detected pathogens to antibacterial and antifungal drugs is also determined, in particular, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is established. Please note that anaerobic bacteria are not detected by this test.

Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus spp., Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter spp., Klebsiella spp. and fungi of the genus Candida are detected in the culture of prostate secretion in case of nonspecific inflammatory process. In case of detection of Streptococcus agalactiae and Streptococcus pyogenes, antibiotic sensitivity is determined regardless of the titer.

Material: prostate secretion (material is obtained by a special collection procedure).
