Standardization of Laboratory Methods for the PERCH Study	2017-06-15		.txt	text/plain	4725	221	42	To build capacity at the sites, and in alignment with the priorities of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, all PERCH testing was done locally, with the exception of quality assurance testing and a select subset of specialized assays, which were performed at the study reference laboratory (Canterbury Health Laboratories, Christchurch, New Zealand), which also served as the study specimen and isolate biorepository. Induced sputum, pleural fluid, and lung aspirate specimens were collected in saline in universal containers and either refrigerated at 2°C-8°C for a maximum of 24 hours, or frozen at -80°C prior to nucleic acid extraction. Organism identification was done according to standard microbiological methods that were documented in SOPs and clarified at each site at the outset; antimicrobial susceptibility testing followed the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines [15] .	./cache/cord-327069-vjlisnui.txt	./txt/cord-327069-vjlisnui.txt
