What It Is. A stool (feces) sample can provide doctors with valuable information about what's going on when a child has a problem in the stomach, intestines, or other part of the gastrointestinal (GI) system. A stool culture helps the doctor determine if there's a bacterial infection in the intestines. A technician places small stool samples in sterile plastic dishes containing nutrients that encourage the growth of certain bacteria. The targeted bacteria will only grow if they're already present in the stool sample.
