On the report

A virus: antibiotics have no activity. Detecting a viral cause in an ulcer is a direct argument against an unnecessary antibiotic.

What the report shows for Herpes simplex virus type 1

  • Detected or not detected, with Ct, limit of detection and cycles above LOD — see PCR reporting.
  • A short pathogen summary, including colonizer likelihood where it applies.
  • No antibacterial grades — the report identifies the organism and points to guideline management instead.
  • When not detected, it is still listed among targets tested.

Decision support only. The treating clinician decides. Molecular genotype does not replace phenotypic susceptibility testing, culture, or public-health reporting. Absence of a detected resistance gene does not establish susceptibility. Organism targets vary by panel; CORE-ABR is configured to the assay each laboratory runs.
