Test ID ANIDE Organism Referred for Identification, Anaerobic Bacteria

Infectious

Useful For

Identifying anaerobic bacteria involved in human infections

Method Name

Dependent on organism submitted, 1 or more of the following methods will be used: Media, Aero Tolerance Testing, Conventional Biochemical Tests, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight (MALDI-TOF) Mass Spectrometry, or 16S RNA Gene Sequencing
