Collection and transfer of clinical microbiological test specimens1 ScopeThis standard specifies the technical requirements for the collection and transfer of clinical microbiology (virology, bacteriology and mycology) specimens. This standard applies to all levels of medical institutions and clinical microbiology laboratories for clinical microbiological testing.2 Normative referencesThe following documents are indispensable for the use of this document. For dated references, only the dated version applies to this document. Pieces. For undated references, the latest edition (including all amendments) applies to this document. WS/T 348 Guide to the collection and handling of urine specimens WS/T 499 Lower Respiratory Tract Infection Bacterial Culture Operation Guide WS/T 442 Clinical Laboratory Biosafety Guide WS/T 503 Clinical Microbiology Laboratory Blood Culture Practices3 Terms and definitionsThe following terms and definitions apply to this document. 3.1 Microbiological Specimen Microbiological specimens in this document refer to clinical virological, bacteriological and mycological tests (including smear microscopy, culture, antigens, antibodies and fractions). Specimens used in sub-technologies, etc.). 3.2 Emergency check specimen STAT Specimens that require immediate treatment as the disease may endanger the patient's life. 3.3 Sampling swab Sampling swab The swab used to collect specimens containing pathogenic microorganisms consists of two parts. 1 Smudge stick. the handle is often made of plastic or aluminum rod, and the handle is one. The end is a sampling head with adsorption. The sampling head material includes cotton wool, synthetic polyester fiber, polyamide fiber, rayon and foam polyurethane. Ester, etc.; 2 Handle. Located at the other end of the handle, it can also be used as a cap for a transfer device (container or tube). 3.4 Transit Transport The process of transporting specimens from the sampling location to the inspection site is divided into internal transport (such as internal sample delivery using manual or pneumatic transmission) And external transport (such as using an external sample delivery method such as a car, airplane or train). 3.5 Transfer container A container for holding a transport medium and for inspecting a specimen. The container should be sterile, free of disinfectants and preservatives, non-polluting, and well sealed. Transparent for easy viewing from the outside. When the sampling device has a sealing function and can effectively protect the sample from contamination, it can be transported as a transport container. Send the specimen. 3.6 Transport medium A liquid or semi-solid medium used to protect and maintain specimens during transport (from the time the specimen is collected to the laboratory) Integrity. Transport media generally do not promote microbial proliferation, but they are guaranteed to survive. For the bacterium, it can be used for separation and culture. The medium is used as a transport medium (such as sheep blood agar or chocolate agar). 3.7 Set of blood culture Blood was drawn from a puncture site, and aerobic and anaerobic blood culture flasks were separately injected for aerobic and anaerobic culture, respectively. 4 General principles for specimen collection, transshipment and handling 4.1 Specimen Collection Manual The laboratory shall establish a manual for the collection of clinical microbiological examination specimens of the institution, and the information provided in the manual includes (but is not limited to) Column content. a) inspection items; b) inspection method; c) indications; d) the specimen collection site; e) specimen type; f) the device/container and transport medium required for specimen collection and transport; g) specimen collection method; h) the volume or quality of the specimen; i) transit time limits and storage conditions; j) the method of identification of the specimen; k) repeat the test frequency; l) biosafety protection information; m) Clinical data to be obtained. 4.2 Application for inspection 4.2.1 Sample Collection According to the application of the test item, the laboratory shall establish an application procedure for clinical microbiological examination. Inspection request form Information includes (but is not limited to) the following. a) the name of the patient; b) patient gender; c) the age of the patient or the date of birth; d) patient unique identifier, such as medical record number; e) visiting wards and wards; f) verify the name of the applicant; g) inspection of the applicant's department; h) type of specimen; i) specimen collection site; j) inspection items; k) the date and time of specimen collection; l) special methods used to collect specimens (where applicable); m) clinical diagnosis and main clinical manifestations; n) special culture requirements or suspected pathogens (where applicable); o) whether the patient is taking anti-microbial drugs and specific types; p) Telephone number of the patient and the test applicant (where applicable). 4.2.2 Selection of bacteriological and mycological test items. a) sterile body fluid specimens, tissue specimens, sputum specimens, Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), Urine specimens and pus specimens should be selected for direct smear staining microscopy and culture; b) Cerebrospinal fluid specimens suspected of cryptococcal infection. it is advisable to select ink staining, cryptococcal capsular polysaccharide antigen test and cryptococcal culture; c) Specimens suspected of mycobacterial infection. acid-fast staining, mycobacterial culture and mycobacterial nucleic acid testing should be selected at the same time; d) Specimens suspected of anaerobic infections. Gram staining and anaerobic culture should be selected at the same time. When aerobic bacteria cannot be excluded, aerobic should be done at the same time. to cultivate; e) Specimens suspected of Nocardia infection. Gradient staining, weak acid-fast staining and culture should be selected at the same time; f) Specimens suspected of invasive fungal infections. 10% KOH tableting, fungal culture and fungal antigen testing should be selected at the same time. Another Lactic acid phenol cotton dye or fluorescent staining. 4.2.3 The specimen collection manual issued by the laboratory should give a clear description of the cultivation requirements of special bacteria to ensure that the medical personnel are on the collection target. This is clearly identified, and the special training requirements in the inspection application form include (but are not limited to) the following. a) prolong the culture time, for example. blood specimens suspected infections caused by Bartonella, Brucella, Francis, etc., respiratory markers This infection is caused by Noca bacteria, etc.; b) Select a dedicated medium. For example, a suspected mycobacterial infection in the blood should be selected for a dedicated mycobacterial culture flask; c) Special gas and temperature environmental requirements. For example. Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae require CO2 environment, Campylobacter and secluded The Helicobacter pylori culture requires a micro-aerobic environment; suspected biphasic fungal infection should be selected at both 25 °C and 37 °C. to cultivate. d) Anaerobic culture should be performed for specific infections. For example. closed abscess such as liver abscess, peritonitis, abdominal infection and diabetic foot infection. The characteristic manifestations of anaerobic infection include. 1 local gas production is one of the important indications; 2 infection occurs near the mucosa; 3 deep trauma, such as gunshot wounds, secondary infections after a human or animal bite; 4 secretions have stench or dark red blood or under ultraviolet light Red fluorescence is emitted, or sulfur particles are present in the pus. 4.3 Selection of specimens 4.3.1 The laboratory specimen collection manual should describe in detail the type of specimen and clinical indications for the pathogen test of infectious diseases.
