Official wording

Reason: If blood culture identification panel is used in conjunction with specific lots of culture media bottles, then false positive Serratia marcescens results may occur, due to an increased level of non-viable organism from serratia marcescens targets in culture media bottles, false positive result may lead to an inappropriate change in patient therapy.
