According to the latest (Infectious Diseases Society of America) IDSA publication, multiple stool specimens are rarely indicated for the detection of routine stool enteric bacterial pathogens by culture. One stool sample for paediatric patients and no more than 2 stool samples for adult patients may be considered for culture tests. The second stool sample from adult patients are to be sent on a separate day and only if clinically indicated. The scope of limited yield provided by additional specimens can be discussed during prior consultation with an ID Physician or the microbiology laboratory (Tel: 6248 5854/6).
