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 slow growers will be performed at an additional charge. Antimicrobials are tested and reported using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines.(1, 2)
Antimicrobials tested for Mycobacterium avium complex: amikacin, clarithromycin, clofazimine, linezolid, and moxifloxacin.
Antimicrobials tested for all other slowly growing Mycobacterium species: amikacin, clarithromycin, clofazimine, ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, linezolid, minocycline, moxifloxacin, rifabutin, rifampin, and trimethoprim /sulfamethoxazole.
Clofazimine interpretive criterion is not available.
