    Culture
    Preparation
    Usual sterile preparation
    Collection
    Biopsy : Surgical specimen in sterile container. Sterile nonbacteriostatic water may be used to prevent drying. Body fluid, aspirates : Aspirated material in sterile container. Skin and nails : Cleanse the area with 70% alcohol prior to specimen collection. Nail scraping should be from a subsurface portion of the infected nail. Skin should be taken from the active border of the lesion. Swabs of throat, nose, nasopharynx, ear : Swab affected area or visible lesion. Urine : Clean catch midstream sample in sterile container. Wound : Aspirate of purulent material or fluid; scraping of lesion border, or swab (least preferred) in sterile container. Swabs cannot be split for other tests. Avoid contamination of the specimen with commensal organism as much as possible. Specify the source of the specimen and include any pertinent clinical information. Cultures are incubated one week before a final report is issued.

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
