Bacteriology: Skin swab/abscess culture (Horse, Dog, Cat, Cattle, Sheep)

Various bacterial pathogens can cause skin and abscess infections in animals such as horses, dogs, cats, cattle, and sheep. 

The test involves taking a swab from the infected area, then cultured in the lab to determine the specific bacteria involved. Common pathogens include Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., and various Gram-negative bacteria. Accurate identification helps veterinarians prescribe the most effective antibiotics, reducing the misuse of medications and promoting faster healing.
