What is Aerobic Blood Culture

Aerobic blood culture is a laboratory test used to detect the presence of bacteria or fungi in the blood. It involves collecting a small amount of blood from the patient and placing it in a special container that promotes the growth of these organisms. The container is then incubated at a specific temperature for several days, and if there are any bacteria or fungi present in the blood, they will grow and can be identified. This test is often used to diagnose bloodstream infections.
