Specimen: Swab of vaginal and rectal specimen Volume: Single or double bacterial swab in Amies agar gel transport or equivalent Minimum Volume: Single bacterial swab in Amies agar gel transport or equivalent Collection: Collection of both a vaginal and rectal swab specimen is strongly recommended. Swab the lower vagina (vaginal introitus), followed by the rectum (ie, insert swab through the anal sphincter) using the same swab. Move swab from side to side, or rotate the swab at the collection site, allowing several seconds for absorption of organisms by the swab. Cervical, perianal, perirectal, or perineal specimens are not acceptable, and a speculum should not be used for culture collection. Storage Instructions: Maintain specimen at room temperature.
