FDA Swab Sampling

Principleedit Because breathing and food pass through the mouth, all kinds of bacteria will be parasitic in the mouth. Such as catarrhalis, various staphylococci, various streptococci, diphtheria-like bacilli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli. There are also anaerobic bacteria, such as peptococcus, Bacteroides and yeast-like bacteria. Influenza is spread through the respiratory tract, and the pharynx is where such viruses gather. The throat swab specimen is a medical cotton swab, and a small amount of secretions are taken from the human pharynx. The sample taken is the throat swab specimen. In order to detect the type of respiratory disease virus, the throat swab can often be used to quickly and accurately detect the Type of virus.
