CLSI M28 Abstract

The diagnosis of parasites from the intestinal tract depends on the recovery and identification of the etiologic agents. Therefore, the ability to collect, process, and examine fecal specimens is important in terms of clinical relevance and patient care. Parasitic infections are not normally treated without demonstration of the specific causative agent. Thus, the ability to recover and identify these organisms is an important part of the overall microbiological responsibilities of the diagnostic laboratory.1,2
