WARNING CAVEATS
Laboratory directors, managers, and Isolates conforming to reactions described in
supervisors responsible for ensuring M35-A2 identify organism with >95% accuracy;
appropriate use of rapid methods identification can be reported without qualification

Competency assessment Lack of a positive result does not rule out the
identification of an isolate; just signifies need for
Colony, Gram stain
