Abstract

* Context.--Specimen quality is paramount for microbiology culture in order to ensure the testing is performed appropriately and the results, generated accurately, reflect the patient's clinical situation and guide proper treatment. Several factors play a critical role in guaranteeing the accuracy of the culture results, including adequate specimen collection by the surgeon, proper labeling, and timely transport to the laboratory. Objective.--To educate pathologists, surgeons, and other medical personnel involved in the collection and processing of surgical specimens submitted for microbiologic culture. To assure the pathogen is correctly identified, proper protocols must be followed. The accurate identification of the infectious microorganisms from surgical specimens is vital for the treating clinician to ensure the correct antimicrobial therapy is administered. Data Sources.--An analysis of relevant literature was performed by using PubMed. Articles were selected on the basis of their relevance to the topic as well as their date of publication. Articles published between 2000 and 2018 were deemed sufficient for inclusion, while older references, regardless of relevance, were excluded. Conclusions.--The process of properly obtaining specimens for microbiology culture from the operating room is a complex process that requires collaboration between the collecting surgeon and the pathologist and microbiology laboratory in order to provide the highest quality of results from which important treatment decisions are then implemented. Engaging leadership to develop mutually agreed-upon institutional best practices will help not only to standardize practices but also to improve the quality of microbiology results reported.

Abstract

* Context.--New molecular diagnostic tests regularly become available, and they may be assumed to be superior to traditional diagnostic studies. The added cost of these studies should be considered in conjunction with the value provided for patient care. Objective.--To assess the cost and diagnostic value of broad-range polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing for the diagnosis of fungal infections compared with traditional studies. Design.--We reviewed the cost and clinical impact of broad-range fungal PCR/DNA sequencing for 65 specimens for which this test, a direct fungal examination, fungal culture, and a histopathologic assessment were performed. Results.--The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values for each of the assays studied were, respectively: histopathology (83.3%, 100%, 100%, and 98.3%); direct examination (66.7%, 100%, 100%, and 96.7%); fungal culture (83.3%, 100%, 100%, and 98.3%); and broad-range fungal PCR/DNA sequencing (83.3%, 95.0%, 62.5%, and 98.3%). The cost for broad-range fungal PCR/DNA sequencing was $32,500, compared with $8,591.70 for all traditional tests combined, for the 65 specimens included in this review. Conclusions.--Broad-range fungal PCR/DNA sequencing did not detect any infecting fungal pathogen that was not detected by at least 1 of the traditional methods, but 3 false-positives occurred. Broad-range fungal PCR/DNA sequencing is not a substitute for traditional laboratory studies and should be used judiciously to promote care affordability. doi: 10.5858/arpa.2017-0299-OA, The recent and substantial expansion of molecular diagnostic testing in clinical microbiology and infectious diseases has had both beneficial and deleterious effects. The beneficial effects include the often more sensitive, [...]
