Additional Information

This test routinely applies only to clinically significant fast-growing aerobic bacteria recovered from samples submitted for culture and susceptibility testing to the AHL. We do not perform susceptibility testing on unknown isolates. Bacterial identity must be known before results are reported and additional charges will apply if identification is done by the AHL. See AHL LabNote 64* [8].
