Serum Bactericidal Test (SBT Test)

The Serum Bactericidal Test (SBT Test) is a blood test that measures the ability of a patient's serum to kill bacteria. The test is commonly used to evaluate the efficacy of vaccines, especially for meningococcal disease.

The SBT test works by taking a patient's blood serum and exposing it to a specific type of bacteria. The serum is then monitored for its ability to kill the bacteria over a specified period. The results of the test are reported as a serum bactericidal titer, which reflects the highest dilution of the serum that is still able to kill the bacteria.

The SBT test can be used to determine whether a patient has developed immunity to a particular bacterial strain or to assess the effectiveness of a vaccine in generating an immune response. The test is typically used in conjunction with other diagnostic tests to help diagnose bacterial infections.
