Micro |
Pus
and or drainage collected in Sterile, no additive, leakproof, leakproof container or needle aspirate are preferred. (Swabs are not optimal) Decontaminate the skin surface, collect purulent material aseptically from undrained abscesses using a sterile needle and syringe. Alternately, open abscess with scalpel and collect expressed material with syringe or swab. Open wounds will require proper cleansing with removal of scab or existing exudate and the collection of tissue from the leading edge of the wound. Culture swabs are not the collection device of choice, however are frequently submitted due to ease of collection. |

Open wounds will require proper cleansing with removal of scab or existing exudate and the collection of tissue from the leading edge of the wound. § Anaerobic culture swabs are not the collection device of choice, however are frequently submitted due to ease of collection. § Must also have an aerobic culture ordered. § Use of anaerobic transport media is required. § Place specimen in anaerobic transport media if available. Otherwise, place in a sterile leakproof container and transport to the Microbiology laboratory promptly. § Unacceptable specimens: specimens from body sites with normal anaerobic flora (throat, mouth, rectum); urine (clean catch, catheterized); cervix, placenta, IV catheter tips. |
