arterial blood gas
ABG
An arterial blood gas (ABG) is a blood test that is performed using blood from an artery. It involves puncturing an artery with a thin needle and syringe ...
acid-fast bacillus
AFB

a type of bacillus that resists decolorizing by acid after accepting a stain. Examples include Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. leprae.
blood urea nitrogen
The blood urea nitrogen (BUN, pronounced "B-U-N") test is a measure of the amount of nitrogen in the blood in the form of urea, and a measurement of renal function. Urea is a substance secreted by the liver, and removed from the blood by the kidneys

Urea is a chemical compound found in urine.
complete blood count
CBC-A complete blood count (CBC), also known as full blood count (FBC) or full blood exam (FBE) or blood panel, is a test panel requested by a doctor or other medical professional that gives information about the cells in a patient's blood. A scientist or lab technician performs the requested testing and provides the requesting medical professional with the results of the CBC.

The cells that circulate in the bloodstream are generally divided into three types: white blood cells (leukocytes), red blood cells (erythrocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes). Abnormally high or low counts may indicate the presence of many forms of disease, and hence blood counts are amongst the most commonly performed blood tests in medicine, as they can provide an overview of a patient's general health status. A CBC is routinely performed during annual physical examinations in some jurisdictions.
carbon dioxide
CO2
Carbon dioxide (chemical formula CO2) is a chemical compound composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a single carbon atom. It is a gas at standard temperature and pressure and exists in Earth's atmosphere in this state. CO2 is a trace gas comprising 0.039% of the atmospher.

As part of the carbon cycle known as photosynthesis, plants, algae, and cyanobacteria absorb carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water to produce carbohydrate energy for themselves and oxygen as a waste product. By contrast, during respiration they emit carbon dioxide, as do all other living things that depend either directly or indirectly on plants for food. Carbon dioxide is also generated as a by-product of combustion; emitted from volcanoes, hot springs, and geysers; and freed from carbonate rocks by dissolution.
culture and sensitivity
C&S

1. IDENTIFY THE SPECIES OF BACTERIA.
This is done with various techniques, including examination of lawn characteristics (color, texture, growth pattern, etc.) gram-staining, microscopic examination, metabolic requirement "footprints" and even DNA sequencing.

Bacterial species commonly isolated from rabbit infections include Pasteurella multocida, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bordetella bronchiseptica, Staphylococcus aureus, and several others, though just about anything might turn up, depending on the location and cause of the infection.
2. DETERMINE THE BACTERIAL POPULATIONS SENSITIVITY TO A RANGE OF ANTIBIOTICS.

This can be done by placing small disks of filter paper or agar impregnated with various types of antibiotics onto the bacterial lawn. The bacteria are allowed to incubate for a day or two, and then the plate is examined to see whether the bacterial growth is inhibited (or not) by the antibiotics on each disk.
