Useful For 
Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Determining the resistance of species of Nocardia and other aerobic actinomycetes to antimicrobial agents
Highlights
Antimicrobials tested for Nocardia species and other aerobic actinomycete susceptibility include: amikacin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, clarithromycin, doxycycline, imipenem, linezolid, minocycline, moxifloxacin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, and tobramycin.
For Rhodococcus equi, rifampin and vancomycin will also be tested.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC | Susceptibility, MIC | No, (Bill Only) | No |
Additional Tests Lists tests that are always performed, at an additional charge, with the initial tests.
| Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |

| SSNS | Susceptibility Nocardia species | No, (Bill Only) | Yes |
Testing Algorithm Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
When this test is ordered, susceptibility for Nocardia species will be performed at an additional charge.
When the organism identification is Rhodococcus equi the additional reflex test will be performed at an additional charge for the additional antimicrobials vancomycin and rifampin.
