A swab sample is examined under a microscope to detect bacteria, fungi, or inflammatory cells, followed by culture to identify the specific organism causing infection. Sensitivity testing is then performed to determine which antibiotics or antifungal medications are most effective. This test supports accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment of ear infections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Get Tested South Africa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47947959468187,"sku":null,"price":1030.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0014\/8586\/5021\/files\/Gemini_Generated_Image_8yxjgh8yxjgh8yxj.png?v=1770208961","url":"https:\/\/www.get-tested.co.za\/products\/ear-swab-mc-and-s-test","provider":"Get Tested South Africa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
