Reflex Tests Lists tests that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial tests.
| Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|
| RMALD | Ident by MALDI-TOF mass spec | No, (Bill Only) | No |
| BLA | Beta Lactamase | No, (Bill Only) | No |
| SUS | Susceptibility | No, (Bill Only) | No |
| HPCR1 | H pylori + Clarithro Resistance PCR | No, (Bill Only) | No |
| MARP1 | mecA PCR (Bill Only) | No, (Bill Only) | No |
Additional Tests Lists tests that are always performed, at an additional charge, with the initial tests.

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 tests may be performed at an additional charge.
All aerobically growing bacteria submitted will automatically have susceptibility testing performed and billed as appropriate. Antimicrobial agents appropriate to the organism and specimen source will be tested according to Mayo Clinic's practice and the laboratory's standard operating procedures.
If appropriate, testing for mecA will be performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) under MARP1 / mecA, Molecular Detection, PCR (Bill Only). Indications for mecA testing include inadequate growth by phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing, lack of current organism breakpoints for oxacillin or cefoxitin, and assessment of discrepancies between cefoxitin and oxacillin phenotypic testing results.
In the event that an isolate of Helicobacter pylori does not grow from a client sample or does not grow for susceptibility testing, reflex testing for HPCR1 / Helicobacter pylori with Clarithromycin Resistance Prediction, Molecular Detection, PCR (Bill Only) may be added.
The following tables provide a listing of the antimicrobials routinely tested as well as antimicrobials that may be tested upon request. These tables are organized by isolate groups and are not all inclusive. Call 800-533-1710 and ask to speak to the Bacteriology Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Laboratory if the organism or antimicrobial of interest are not listed in these tables.
-Aerobic Gram-Negative Bacilli Antimicrobials
-Additional Gram-Negative Bacteria Antimicrobials
-Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, Bacillus, and Related Genera Antimicrobials
-Additional Gram-Positive Bacteria Antimicrobials
