The cost of a gonococcal culture is now around$100 for a clinical bacterial culture. The examination in a tertiary hospital is to do a bacterial culture first, and if the common bacterial culture is negative, there is no need to do further drug sensitization test, and the cost of common bacterial culture may be less than 100 dollars. After the bacterial culture is done, if the bacterial culture is found to be positive, that is, the gonococcus is positive, further drug sensitization test can be done to stimulate the gonococcus colonies by different antimicrobials to see which drug is the most effective in treating the gonococcus, called the drug sensitization test, and if you add the cost of the drug sensitization test, the cost may be just more than 100 bucks overall, so the overall cost is about 100 bucks. However, there is a chance that the culture of the cocci may not be successful 1 time, so some clinicians will recommend 2-3 consecutive tests to be able to increase the rate of gonococcal diagnosis.
