A bronchial specimen is examined under a microscope to detect the presence of bacteria, fungi, or inflammatory cells, followed by culture to identify the specific organism causing infection. Sensitivity testing is then performed to determine which antibiotics are most effective against the identified pathogen. This test plays an important role in diagnosing respiratory infections and guiding targeted, effective treatment decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Get Tested South Africa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47947922145435,"sku":null,"price":670.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0014\/8586\/5021\/files\/Gemini_Generated_Image_g34n5ag34n5ag34n.png?v=1770209161","url":"https:\/\/www.get-tested.co.za\/products\/bronchial-mc-and-s-test","provider":"Get Tested South Africa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
