    enhance tissue
    elasticity, making it
    easier for the
    affected area to
    move. This is
    particularly useful
    in conditions
    involving scar
    tissue or adhesions.

    5.The culture can


    identify the specific
    microorganism
    responsible for the
    infection, whether
    it's bacteria, fungi,
    or other pathogens.
    Knowing the type
    of pathogen is
    essential for
    selecting the
    appropriate
    antibiotic or
    antifungal
    treatment.

    healthcare providers
    have access to the
    same information,
    enabling them to
    make well-informed
    decisions and
    provide consistent
    care.
