TESTING FOR SKILLED NURSING

Common panels, one clear path to answers

Explore Lotus testing for urinary, wound, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and other common skilled-nursing needs.

Lower Respiratory Panel

+ABR

Bacterial pathogens of lower respiratory infection with resistance genes, so therapy is chosen on evidence.

Sputum
Quantitative PCR

Wound Panel

+ABR

Aerobic and anaerobic wound pathogens with resistant-organism markers, so therapy is chosen on evidence.

Urinary Tract (UTI) Panel

+ABR

Quantitative uropathogen panel for recurrent and complicated UTI, with loads that separate true infection from contamination.

Occult Fecal Blood (iFOB / FIT)

Immunochemical fecal occult blood test (also written FIT).

Stool

Urinalysis

Routine urine chemistry with microscopic examination. Not a molecular test — for organism identification and resistance genes, order the Urinary Tract (UTI) Panel.

Group A Strep

Standalone PCR detection of Streptococcus pyogenes for when a strep test alone is wanted rather than a full respiratory panel.

Throat swab

C. difficile

Standalone PCR detection of Clostridium difficile for when C. difficile alone is wanted rather than the full GI panel. Organism detection only — toxin genes are not reported, so results should be interpreted alongside clinical presentation.

Upper Respiratory Panel

Viral agents of upper respiratory infection, including influenza, RSV, and SARS-CoV-2.
