Stool Culture For Common Intestinal Bacteria

Maine rates for HCPCS 87045

A stool sample is placed on special growth material in the laboratory to check for two common bacteria that cause intestinal infections, Salmonella and Shigella, and any growth is identified and reported. It is typically ordered for someone with diarrhea, especially if it is severe, bloody, or has lasted an unusually long time. Results usually take a few days since the bacteria need time to grow.
