  • Causa
    The health risk assessment was performed by physicians and it was determined that the clinical impact was remote to the populations of patients at risk and unlikely for populations of normal patients. growth pattern analysis identified that only 5 microorganisms represent a risk of a positive atypical dsor reaction and, therefore, a misidentification of the microorganism. for 4 of 5 microorganisms unlikely that potentially misidentification would have a significant negative impact on patients. wrong identification of (1) microorganism that could potentially have a negative impact on the patient, streptococcus gallolyticus (gallolyticus subsp.), is a very unusual cause of infection. each of these 5 microorganisms could be sent to ast (antibiotic susceptibility test) and interpreted using breakpoints available for the respective group: 1) streptococcus spp. viridans group, 2) enterococcus spp., and 3) staphylococcus spp. therefore, an incorrect identification should not have any negative impact on the interpretation of ast (antibiotic susceptibility test) results. based on the health risk assessment, this problem represents a lower overall risk.
