aureus (MSSA), and can be run on a bacterial isolate or a primary specimen (such as
blood or urine) that is presumed to contain infectious microorganisms. This term was
created for the New York State Department of Health and is limited for use by public
health laboratories, which are unique in that they can sometimes run tests on any
sample, either human or environmental, using locally-developed tests. Other organizations,
such as hospitals or commercial laboratories, use a term that specifies the particular
specimen(s) that the test kit they are using has been approved for.;
