Specimen Collection
Specimens ideally should be collected before antibiotics are begun

Sterile supplies and collection containers should be used


The specimen should be collected from the site of infection and not surrounding
areas

Obtained specimen should be collected and placed in appropriate containers


and/or transport media according to protocol

Collect a sufficient amount of specimen for testing

Appropriately label each specimen and transport to lab within an appropriate


time
