The purpose of culture and sensitivity swabbing is to see the development of the disease or respond to the treatment that given to the patient. The ways to get culture and sensitivity swabbing such as do dressing to the wound with aseptic technique, take culture and sensitivity swab and put it into the test tube.

First of all, we need to do dressing to the wound with aseptic technique. We must use aseptic technique to keep the wound free from harmful bacteria. So, to maintain it sterile we can use a syringe and get 20mililiter of normal saline to irrigate the wound.

Next way is we can take the culture and sensitivity swab to get the specimen. Normally, we use plain swab that have strip to get the specimen because it more easier than cotton ball. Beside that, we also can maintain the sterilization of the wound. So, no microorganisms will go to the wound that can delay time for healing process.

Lastly, put the plain swab into a test tube. When we want to put it inside the test tube, we put it without touch the mouth of the test tube. It is because to prevent any contamination at the mouth of the test tube goes to the specimen. So, we must be careful during put it into the test tube.
