Undetected
Interpretation
Results are intended to aid in the diagnosis of illness and are meant to be used in conjunction with other clinical and epidemiological findings.
Detected results do not distinguish between a viable or replicating organism and a nonviable organism or nucleic acid, nor do they exclude the potential for coinfection by organisms not included in the panel.
Negative results do not exclude the possibility of infection and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment, or other management decisions.
The antimicrobial resistance genes detected may or may not be associated with the agents responsible for disease. Undetected results for the included antimicrobial resistance genes do not guarantee susceptibility to corresponding classes of antimicrobials, as other mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance exist.
