PREPARATION
To perform the study, you will need:
- Sterile wide-mouth container with an airtight lid (can be a urine culture container).

Collect fecal matter from any spontaneous bowel movement in the disinfected container, not in the toilet. Immediately collect the equivalent of one teaspoonful in the sterile container.
If it is a diaper, scrape it and transfer it to a sterile container. Do not take the diaper to the laboratory: it will not be accepted.
