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

LP248363-6   Geobacillus stearothermophilus
Geobacillus stearothermophilus is a rod-shaped, gram-positive bacteria commonly used as a biological indicator for sterilization in labs. PMID: 17012597 Because G. stearothermophilus are thermophillic, they are highly resistant to heat and therefore used in equipment validation studies to prove that sterilization took place. G. stearothermophilus was first described as Bacillus stearothermophilus, but was reclassified as a member of the genus Geobacillus in 2001 based on comparative analysis of the 16S rDNA sequences and fatty acid compositions of isolates. PMID: 11321089 Source: Regenstrief LOINC

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
