AB Clinical  microbiology  laboratories  play  a  fundamental  and  indispensable  role  in  providing  reliable  and  timely  information  regarding  the  identification  of  infectious  disease  agents.  Clinicians  use  this  information  not  only  to  make  or  confirm  a  diagnosis  but  also  to  guide  clinical  decisions  and  treatment  options,  so  this  information  needs  to  be  definitive,  significant,  and  relevant  to  the  case  under  consideration.  Obtaining  accurate  results  that  can  be  interpreted  with  high  confidence  is  dependent  on  the  laboratory  receiving  high-quality  patient  specimens.
