#Idsky #Microbiology Friends in the USA / Canada What is your national guidance for the laboratory processing of BAL fluid?! In the UK we advise a semi quantitative culture to enumerate bacteria…..we have been told your guidance is culture of the centrifuged deposit. All guidance appreciated…..

Who will do these tests? Massive numbers of specialised biomedical scientists being made redundant. Risk. That’s the risk to the healthcare of all. WGS of newborns when we can’t even lift children out of poverty.
