Respiratory Pathogen Panel
- GTR Test IDHelpEach Test is a specific, orderable test from a particular laboratory, and is assigned a unique GTR accession number. The format is GTR00000001.1, with a leading prefix 'GTR' followed by 8 digits, a period, then 1 or more digits representing the version. When a laboratory updates a registered test, a new version number is assigned.: GTR000593026.5

Clinical microbial testHelpIn the U.S., clinical tests must be performed under CLIA certification. When a lab uses the same methods for a test in both clinical and research settings, the test appears as two separate GTR records. for Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia

Comments about the test interpretation (e.g. clinical implication of test results)
Results must be interpreted in the context of the patient's symptoms. It is not unusual to detect M. catarrhalis, H. influenzae, K. pneumoniae, S. pneumoniae, and S. aureus in_x000D_ respiratory samples as these are commensal or transiently commensal upper respiratory tract microbes. Due to_x000D_ the high prevalence of human infection with HHV4 (EBV) and HHV6 viruses, these viruses can be detected at low_x000D_ levels in some respiratory samples from healthy patients.IMPORTANT NOTE: NIH does not independently verify information submitted to the GTR; it relies on submitters to provide information that is accurate and not misleading. NIH makes no endorsements of tests or laboratories listed in the GTR. GTR is not a substitute for medical advice. Patients and consumers with specific questions about a genetic test should contact a health care provider or a genetics professional.
