A member asked:
Where should someone get "swabbed" for streptococci, staphylococci and e. coli?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Why do you need to be swabbed? Streptococci usually cause sore throat, staphylococci cause skin infections and e coli is normally present in the colon. It would depend on what the lesion is and where it is.
