What is being tested? The stool culture is a test that detects and identifies bacteria that cause infections of the lower digestive tract. The test distinguishes between the types of bacteria that cause disease (pathogenic) and the types that are normally found in the digestive tract (normal flora).
Stool ova and parasites exam is a lab test to look for parasites or eggs (ova) in a stool sample. The parasites are associated with intestinal infections. Food passes from the stomach into the small intestine. In the small intestine all nutrient absorption occurs.
A stool analysis is a series of tests done on a stool (feces) sample to help diagnose certain conditions affecting the digestive tract. These conditions can include infection (such as from parasites, viruses, or bacteria), poor nutrient absorption, or cancer.

Culture, Stool ( Salmonella and Shigella) No. 2 - Salmonella and shigella are considered pathogens when isolated from clinical specimens. Identification of these organisms is important for treatment and infection control.
Antibiotic susceptibilities are only performed when appropriate (CPT code (s): 87181 or 87184 or 87185 or 87186) .
