Laboratory workflow: CSF sample will either be analyzed by classical cultural methods (left, gray) and/or molecular methods (right, blue) depending on parameters requested by sender. If suspicion of infectious meningitis is communicated or gram stain is suspect, additional Biofire ME panel will be performed (red). Results will be confirmed by methods applicable for pathogen detected (dashed arrows)
