Determining whether Vibrio species may be the cause of diarrhea
This test is generally not useful for patients that have been hospitalized for more than 3 days because the yield from these patients' specimens is very low, as is the likelihood of identifying a pathogen that has not been detected previously
This test provides evidence of the presence of the bacterium, Vibrio species, in feces, in a viable state, and provides an isolate for antibacterial susceptibility testing and, if needed, submission to a health department. Minnesota health care providers are required to report all confirmed or suspected cases of Vibrio bacteriosis to the Minnesota Department of Health. Clients should refer to their local health departments regarding public health submission of Vibrio isolates.
