Valid FISH test results are obtained if bright green fluorescent cells of size and morphology typical of C. m. subsp. sepedonicus are observed using the FITC filter and if bright red fluorescent cells using the rhodamine filter in all positive controls and not in any of the negative controls. If bright fluorescing cells with characteristic morphology are found, estimate the average number of typical cells per microscope field and calculate the number of typical cells per ml of resuspended pellet (Appendix 4). Samples with at least 5 × 10 3 typical cells per ml of resuspended pellet are considered potentially contaminated. Further testing is required. Samples with less than 5 × 10 3 typical cells per ml of resuspended pellet are considered negative.
The FISH test is negative if bright red fluorescent cells with size and morphology typical of C. m. subsp. sepedonicus are not observed using the rhodamine filter, provided that typical bright red fluorescent cells are observed in the positive control preparations when using the rhodamine filter.]
