Test Details
Methodology
Identification by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry and/or conventional biochemical testing
Result Turnaround Time
3 - 6 days
Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
Test Includes
Identification of routine bacteria to genus or species level and qualitative determination of antimicrobial susceptibility
Use
This test is for the identification of “routine” bacteria; for other bacterial species requiring more extensive biochemical testing, use test Reference Bacterial Culture Identification [008458] with test Susceptibility Testing, Aerobic and Facultatively Anaerobic Organisms [008680] at an additional charge.
Specimen Requirements
Specimen
Pure isolate of aerobic or facultatively anaerobic organisms; identification of multiple organisms will result in an additional fee(s).
Volume
Viable colonies
Container
Agar slant in screw-cap container packed as an etiologic agent or a swab transport inoculated with the isolate from a pure culture. Maintain subculture at submitting laboratory.
Collection Instructions
Bacterium derived from cultured clinical sample. Send pure culture on maintenance media. Maintain subculture at submitting laboratory.
Storage Instructions
Maintain specimen at room temperature.
Causes for Rejection
Broken tube; improper labeling; mixed culture
