| Ordering info (EPIC SmartText) | The respiratory tract begins with the nasal or oral passages, which serve to humidify inspired air, and extends past the nasopharynx and oropharynx to the trachea and then into the lungs. The trachea divides into bronchi, which subdivide into bronchioles, the smallest branches of which terminate in the alveoli. Upper respiratory specimens include nose, throat, and nasopharyngeal swabs. Lower respiratory specimens include sputum, tracheostomy aspirates, bronchial washings, bronchial lavages, and bronchial brushings. Most etiological agents of respiratory tract disease must first adhere to the mucosa of the respiratory tract. The presence of normal flora and the overall state of the host affect the ability of microorganisms to adhere. Adherence, toxin production, and growing in host tissue are ways which possible pathogens can cause disease. Notes: • Gram Stain is automatically included when C BR is ordered. • Specimens should be collected prior to initiation of antimicrobial therapy. . |
