## Overview
This test is performed for the detection of Corynebacterium diphtheriae in throat swab specimens using KLB (Albert) staining. It helps in the rapid presumptive identification of the organism by demonstrating characteristic green bacilli with metachromatic granules, supporting early diagnosis and prompt public health and clinical intervention in suspected diphtheria cases.

## Preparation Required
The patient should preferably avoid eating, drinking, gargling, or using antiseptic mouthwashes for at least 2 hours prior to sample collection, if feasible. The procedure should be explained to the patient. Any prior or ongoing antibiotic therapy should be mentioned, as it may affect staining results.
