Would chlamydia show up in a culture if a doctor was testing for strep throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chlamydia: Bacterial cultures are designed to detect most bacterial organisms but chlamydia is not a tyhpical bacteria, but rather a type of mycoplama that does not grow well or at all on bacterial culture media.
