Recovery of Helicobacter pylori from gastric specimens for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the organism (amoxicillin, clarithromycin, levofloxacin, metronidazole and tetracycline are routinely tested)
Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
---|---|---|---|
GID | Bacteria Identification | No, (Bill Only) | No |
TISSR | Tissue Processing | No, (BIll Only) | No |
MIC | Sensitivity, MIC | No, (Bill Only) | No |
SUS | Susceptibility | No, (Bill Only) | No |
ISAE | Aerobe Ident by Sequencing | No, (Bill Only) | No |
HPCR1 | H pylori + Clarithro Resistance PCR | No, (Bill Only) | No |
When this test is ordered, the reflex tests may be performed at an additional charged.
When Helicobacter pylori is isolated, identification will be confirmed and susceptibility testing performed. The routine susceptibility panel includes amoxicillin, clarithromycin, levofloxacin, metronidazole, and tetracycline.
In the event that an isolate of Helicobacter pylori does not grow for susceptibility testing, reflex testing for Helicobacter pylori with HPCR1 / Clarithromycin Resistance with Clarithromycin Resistance Prediction, Molecular Detection, PCR (Bill Only) may be added.
For test utilization options, see Helicobacter pylori Diagnostic Algorithm in Special Instructions.
