Term Description

This test is intended principally for validation and efficacy of sterilization procedures. The results may be reported across labs if a specimen is sent to an external lab for testing.

Part Descriptions

LP248362-8   Bacillus atrophaeus
Bacillus atrophaeus (formerly Bacillus subtilis var. niger) is a gram-positive, spore-forming bacteria that produces black pigment. B. atrophaeus is used as a biological indicator for efficacy testing and sterilization control. Historically, it has also been used to study spore inactivation, as a plant growth promoter, in treatment evaluation and as a potential adjuvant or vehicle for vaccines.

LP6209-3   Culture
A culture is a laboratory procedure where a sample of tissue or fluid from a patient is placed in or on growth media (agar, broth) to induce the proliferation of potentially infectious agents (bacteria, fungi, viruses). The presence of growth is documented and the organisms are identified to determine whether or not a pathogen is present.
Once a pathogen is identified, specific testing techniques can be used to determine drug susceptibilities for assistance in treatment. https://courses.lumenlearning.com/boundless-microbiology/chapter/culturing-bacteria/ Source: Regenstrief LOINC
