Culture Cholera - Book Test at Low Cost

Cholera is a bacterial infection. If untreated, it causes problems such as severe diarrhea, vomiting, electrolyte loss, dehydration, and in some cases death.

The best test for cholera diagnosis is the culture cholera method, which is considered the gold standard. TCBS (thiosulphate citrate bile salts) agar, a selective medium that isolates the bacteria from diarrhea, is placed on a plate with stool samples obtained from a patient using a sterile cotton bud.

Vibrio cholera develops into yellow clumps during incubation, and these clumps are later examined to determine the precise cholera strain. With the help of this test, Cholera can be differentiated from other bacterial, protozoal, or viral causes of diarrhea
