About test
What does BACTERIAL LATEX AGGLUTINATION measure?
Bacterial latex agglutination is a rapid laboratory test that detects certain bacterial antigens using latex particles coated with specific antibodies. When the target antigen is present, visible clumping may occur. It may be used to support evaluation of suspected bacterial infections, including infections affecting body fluids, depending on the antigen panel requested. Results are interpreted alongside symptoms, examination findings, and other laboratory tests.
