Clinical Info

Diagnosing infections due to Mycoplasma (Mycoplasmoides) pneumoniae Assessing macrolide susceptibility

Specimen Type

Body Fluid, CSF, Swab, Respiratory, Nasal, Nasopharyngeal

Container

Sterile

Collection Instructions

The high sensitivity of amplification by PCR requires the specimen to be processed in an environment in which contamination of the specimen by Mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA is unlikely. Specimen source is required. Submit only 1 of the following specimens: Specimen Type: Respiratory Sources: Bronchial washing, bronchoalveolar lavage, tracheal secretions, sputum Container/Tube: Sterile container Specimen Volume: 1 mL (0.5 mL min) Specimen Type: Swab Specimen: Throat nasal, or nasopharyngeal Container/Tube: Culture swab transport system (Dacron or rayon swab with aluminum or plastic shaft with either Stuart or Amies liquid medium Acceptable: Culture transport swab (Stuart's media) or place swab in M4, M4-RT , M5, M6, UTM, or ESwab Specimen Volume: Swab Collection Instructions: 1. Collect specimen by swabbing back and forth over mucosa surface to maximize recovery of cells. 2. Place swab back into swab cylinder. Specimen Type: Fluid Sources: Pleural, pericardial, cerebrospinal Container/Tube: Sterile vial Specimen Volume: 0.5 mL Transport Temperature: Refrigerated
