Hello.
Thank you for contacting HCM.
I have gone through your culture and sensitivity report and I will try to explain it to you. Whenever there is an infection culture and sensitivity test results indicate to which drug the disease will respond to in terms of treatment. There are 3 categories of drugs
S----sensitive ( the best option for that particular disease)
I-----intermediate ( meaning weak response)
R----resistant ( meaning the disease cant be cured with this particular drug)
Whatever infection you are having is sensitive to all the drugs with "S" written with them. This is good news as this means it can be easily cured with treatment.
I would recommend you consult your local physician for clinical evaluation in light of this report and further treatment accordingly.
I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns.
Wishing you good health.
