Testing Algorithm
When this test is ordered, the reflex tests may be performed at an additional charge. All bacterial organisms submitted will be identified and billed as appropriate.
Interpretation
Isolation of anaerobes in significant numbers from well-collected specimens from blood, other normally sterile body fluids, or closed collections of purulent fluid indicates infection with the identified organism.
