Why do we need to transport the throat swab using transport culture medium?

sputum, whereas with atypical (e.g., Mycoplasma pneumoniae) pneumonia, the cough is usually
nonproductive or absent.
Explain.
Patient TM is 65 years of age and was recently given a 13C-Urea breath test
due to recent gastrointestinal discomfort.
What type of bacterial infection is patient TM suspected to have contracted? Give a rationale for the diagnostic test performed and comment on when this test may produce a false negative result.
