When a bronchoalveolar lavage fluid is collected for diagnosis of lower respiratory tract infections, indicate the screening method used and the results of the screening to consider the specimen acceptable.
Sputum cultured or induced is collected; indicate the criteria to consider the culture likely to be significant.
No, or less than 10, epithelial cells per unit; no saliva
A mid-stream urine sample is collected; indicate the criteria to consider the culture significant and or nor in females with cystitis.
Give a few examples of the preanalytical phases important for some specific specimens (blood culture preanalytical phases, urine, sputum for respiratory tract infection)
Describe the cumulative antimicrobial susceptibility testing report briefly
