[Site] THROAT-Bacterial [Method] Ask the patient to sit in a comfortable position and depress the tongue with a spatula. Avoid touching the mouth or tongue with the swab. Quickly, but gently, rub the swab over the appropriate area, usually the tonsillar fossa or the area with a lesion or visible exudate. NB: do not obtain throat samples if epiglottis is inflamed, as sampling may cause serious respiratory obstruction. [Container]
