In my medical microbiology class, we're required to do throat swabs. My main problem is I don't know how to properly do the throat swab. I have been just going past the uvula and touching the back of the throat, but I have heard you're supposed to swab above the tonsils instead...

What's the proper way of performing a throat swab?
