A blood culture is nothing but a test that examines your blood for foreign invaders such as bacteria, yeast, and other microbes. These bacteria in your circulation can indicate bacteremia, a type of blood infection. Having a culture report on hand is essential. Improved communication with the surgeon is associated with good health outcomes. Your doctor can use the test results to determine which organism or bacteria is causing the blood infection and how to treat it.
