A stool sample is examined microscopically to detect the presence of disease-causing bacteria, fungi, and parasites (including their ova\/eggs and cysts) in the digestive tract, followed by culture to identify bacterial pathogens. Sensitivity testing helps determine which antibiotics are most effective when bacterial infection is present. This test supports accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment of gastrointestinal infections, particularly in cases of persistent or recurrent symptoms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Get Tested South Africa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47948021923995,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0014\/8586\/5021\/files\/FaecesHeroImage_36e738ad-21a8-4beb-b929-b05f1f65bd11.jpg?v=1774497913","url":"https:\/\/www.get-tested.co.za\/products\/faeces-mc-s-adult-including-parasites-test","provider":"Get Tested South Africa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
