Abstract

The present invention relates to a sample collecting swab tool and a method for detection of respiratory pathogens. The present invention relates to a swab tool in which two positions for gripping the swab tool, that is, two gripping points, are formed so as to make it easy to precisely control the force on the swab tool according to the sample collection site (e.g., nasal cavity or oral cavity), whereby swab samples can be collected from sample collection sites accurately and easily in an amount sufficient enough to detect respiratory pathogens. In addition, the swab tool of the present invention can be used not only for sampling by experts but also for self-sampling by non-experts, and respiratory pathogens can be detected from collected samples.
