Comments:
1. Positive culture results are indicative of the presence of the bacteria. Clinical correlation with the patient¶s history and other
diagnostic information is necessary to better interpret the test results. 2. The test results may be influenced by the quality of the
specimen submitted for testing. 3. The test results may also be influenced if the patient has received antimicrobial therapy before
collecting the specimen. 4. Negative culture results mean that routinely grown aerobic bacteria were either non-viable or absent in the
specimen. Negative culture results do not rule out infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient
management decisions. 5. Negative culture results must be combined with clinical observations, patient history, and epidemiological
information. 6. The result relates only to the specimen received in the laboratory. 7. This test does not rule out infection caused by
viral or parasitic pathogens.
