Shipping Instructions
Specimen must be received in laboratory within 48 hours of collection at refrigerated temperature. Specimens received frozen will be rejected.
Necessary Information
Specimen source is required
Specimen Required
Submit only 1 of the following specimens:
Preferred:
Specimen Type: Sputum, expectorated or induced
Patient Preparation: Have the patient brush their teeth or gargle with water immediately before specimen collection. This reduces the number of contaminating oropharyngeal bacteria.
Container/Tube: Sterile container
Specimen Volume: Entire collection
Acceptable:
Specimen Type: Bronchial aspirate or washing, sinus aspirate, bronchoalveolar lavage, endotracheal, or tracheal
Container/Tube: Sterile container
Specimen Volume: Entire collection
Specimen Type: Throat swab
Supplies:
Culturette (BBL Culture Swab) (T092)
BD E-Swab (T853)
Container/Tube: Culture transport swab (Dacron or rayon swab with aluminum or plastic shaft with either Stuart or Amies liquid medium), or ESwab
Specimen Volume: Entire collection
Useful For
Detecting disease-causing aerobic bacteria in specimens from patients with cystic fibrosis
Determining the in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of potentially pathogenic aerobic bacteria, if appropriate
