  • abscess material
  • liqour
  • aspirates (from sterile body cavities)
  • faeces

Parameter

anaerobic bacteria

Method

culture, bacteriological (MALDI-TOF)

Remark

  • smears from purulent Material: A detection by culture from purulent material is often difficult as the bacteria are pre-damaged and therefore difficult to breed.
