On the report
Not a bacterium, so the antibacterial grid does not apply. Treatment is with a nitroimidazole, following CDC STI guidelines.
What the report shows for Trichomonas vaginalis
- 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.
