Sputum cultures test for what you list except RSV which is a virus. The lab knows what to do. Any bacteria detected grows pretty quickly 2-3 days with NTM/MAC taking 8 weeks.

I wonder if the protocol about what the specific lab will check for varies depending on state and/ or lab? Perhaps you could check with your new pulmonologist or lab. Just a thought. Take care.
