Additional Information
Salmonella Series
Some hospital protocols require 5 negative cultures before a patient can be transferred out of isolation, due to intermittent shedding of the organism in feces. Results for each individual sample are reported as they are completed. Once a positive result is confirmed, testing of further samples is discontinued. $144.00

Salmonella Pool of 5 Equine Fecal Samples
The pooled test is only available for equine fecal samples. Submit five (5) individual fecal samples of at least 1 gram each to the laboratory. The lab will create the pool in house from each of the individual samples. One result will be reported. $90.00
