Answer to Question 1

How great was that.Thank you so much.

Answer to Question 2

C
Culture refers to the growing of microorganisms to identify pathogens. Culture and sensitivity tests are performed to identify both the nature of the invading organisms and their susceptibility to commonly-used antibiotics. Sensitivity allows the physician to select the appropriate antibiotic therapy, therefore the specimen should be collected before antibiotics are started.
