Test ID: MMLYP
Antimicrobial Susceptibility Panel, Yeast
Specimen Type 
Describes the specimen type needed for testing
Varies
Specimen Required Defines the optimal specimen. This field describes the type of specimen required to perform the test and the preferred volume to complete testing. The volume allows automated processing, fastest throughput and, when indicated, repeat or reflex testing.
Container/Tube: Sabouraud's dextrose agar slant
Specimen Volume: Infecting yeast
Collection Instructions:
1. Organism must be in pure culture, actively growing.
2. Place specimen in a large infectious container (Supply T146) and label as an etiologic agent.
Additional Information:
1. Antimicrobials to be tested and specimen source are required.
2. Include suspected organism identification.
3. See Infectious Material in Special Instructions.
Specimen Minimum Volume Defines the amount of specimen required to perform an assay once, including instrument and container dead space. Submitting the minimum specimen volume makes it impossible to repeat the test or perform confirmatory or perform reflex testing. In some situations, a minimum specimen volume may result in a QNS (quantity not sufficient) result, requiring a second specimen to be collected.
