Additional Information

This test for ONE significant aerobic pathogen is included in the price of companion animal cultures: 'cultnm' and 'aculnm'. If more than one susceptibility is requested this charge will apply to all additional ones. MIC testing for food animal samples is done by request only and isolates are charged individually. If bacterial isolates are submitted only for MIC susceptibility testing without culture this charge also applies to each isolate. In addition, bacterial identity must be known before results are reported and additional charges will apply if identification is done by the AHL. See AHL LabNote 64*.
