EMSL does the appropriate testing. All you need to do is specify that you want

testing done for Actinobactera: Mycobacterium, Actinomyces, Streptomyces, etc.

Be sure that you request that the two temperatures: 55 and 37 C be done. You

want to test for both thermophilic (55 C) and mesophilic (37 C) Actinobacteria.

Also, have them culture additional samples using sheep blood agar for Gram

negative bacteria. Finally, request that the cultures for Actinobacteria be

maintained for at least two weeks. Some of these bacteria are slow growing and

will be missed in a 24 to 48 hours of the usual culture protocol.
