An isolate of Klebsiella pneumoniae is resistant to carbapenems. What is the most appropriate laboratory action?
1Repeat the identification and susceptibility testing before releasing any report
2Report the result and notify infection control according to laboratory policy✓ 정답
3Report the isolate as susceptible to all beta-lactam agents tested
4Discard the isolate as a probable contaminant without reporting
해설
Reporting alone is not sufficient for a multidrug-resistant organism. Laboratory policy requires notification of infection control so that spread can be contained. Reporting the isolate as susceptible or discarding it as a contaminant would both be clear errors.
