A stool sample is examined under a microscope to detect bacteria, parasites, or inflammatory cells, followed by culture to identify potential bacterial pathogens. Sensitivity testing is performed to guide appropriate treatment when infection is confirmed. Due to the age of the patient this test can only be ordered by a qualified medical professional.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Get Tested South Africa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47948035653787,"sku":null,"price":690.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0014\/8586\/5021\/files\/Gemini_Generated_Image_7593237593237593.png?v=1770209564","url":"https:\/\/www.get-tested.co.za\/products\/faeces-mc-s-baby-2yr","provider":"Get Tested South Africa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
