A swab sample is examined under a microscope to detect bacteria or inflammatory cells, followed by culture to identify the specific organism responsible for infection. Sensitivity testing is then performed to determine which antibiotics are most effective against the identified pathogen. This test supports accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment of throat and tonsillar infections.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Get Tested South Africa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47952131915931,"sku":null,"price":570.0,"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\/tonsil-throat-test","provider":"Get Tested South Africa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
