Testing Algorithm Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
When this test is ordered, the reflex antimicrobial susceptibility test will be performed at an additional charge. All mycobacteria and Nocardia (including aerobic actinomycetes) submitted will be identified and billed as appropriate.
Nucleic acid probes used for identification, when applicable, include those for Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex, M gordonae, and M tuberculosis complex. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS) and/or 16S rDNA sequencing is used for identification, when applicable, for slowly and rapidly growing Mycobacterium species and aerobic actinomycetes (including Nocardia species and Streptomyces species). The M tuberculosis complex can be further identified to the species level upon request, using a separate rapid PCR test. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination by either the microtiter broth dilution method or critical concentration testing by broth dilution will be automatically performed as appropriate after species identification.
