Aspirates are preferable to swabs. A thin smear for Gram stain obtained from the same site is strongly recommended and must be ordered separately. Culture samples must be collected to avoid contamination with indigenous anaerobic flora from skin and mucous membranes.

Isolate and identify potentially pathogenic aerobic organisms. Susceptibility test is performed at additional charge when organisms isolated meet microbiologic criteria for clinical significance.

Tissues and fluids are superior to a swab specimen. If swabs must be used, collect 2 anaerobic transport swabs, one for culture and one for gram stain or submit one anaerobic transport swab with one air dried smear or one ESwab (white-cap) for both culture and gram stain.
