Anaerobic Organism Identification : 0060164

Mnemonic: MC ANAID

Methodology: Identification
Identification methods may include macrobroth dilution or microbroth dilution.
Performed: Sun-Sat
Reported: Varies
Specimen Required: Collect: Actively growing organism in pure culture.

Specimen Preparation: Transport sealed container with pure culture on agar slant in anaerobic transport pouch or on a swab in anaerobic transport media. Place each specimen in an individually sealed bag.

Storage/Transport Temperature: Room temperature.

Remarks: Specimen source required.

Unacceptable Conditions: Mixed cultures or non-viable organisms.

Stability (collection to initiation of testing): Ambient: 72 hours; Refrigerated: Unacceptable; Frozen: Unacceptable

Reference Interval:
Complete identification of clinically significant isolates.
Note: Testing performed and associated charges billed depends on specimen source and type of organism suspected.  An additional handling fee will be billed for all mixed cultures as indicated in the specimen requirements.

Submission of mixed cultures will result in delayed turnaround time and increased charges. Isolation of organism should be ensured prior to submission.  Order a separate MC ANAID test for each organism identification required.

For identification by 16s rDNA sequencing only, order Organism Identification by 16s rDNA Sequencing (ARUP test code 0060720).
CPT Code(s): 87076 and/or 87153; CPT codes for identification vary based upon method.
