| Reference notes : |
| 1. A "Detected" result indicates that the DNA of the corresponding bacterium has been identified. |
| 2. A "Not detected" result indicates that the DNA of the corresponding bacterium was not identified. False-negative results may occur due to improper specimen collection, concurrent antibiotic therapy, or a low bacterial load in the specimen (i.e., below the assay's limit of detection). Repeat testing is recommended if clinically indicated. |
| 3. An "Indeterminate" or "Inhibitor present" result may be caused by interfering substances, such as PCR inhibitors. Repeat testing is recommended if clinically indicated. |
| 4. All target organisms have a limit of detection of 700 copies/mL and a specificity greater than 99%. |
