Discussion

spanruss (asker) Jul 17, 2017:
Could this be "contingent", i.e., contingent upon other test results. According to this site: https://labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/gram-stain...

"However, Gram stain results are usually considered preliminary, and results of a culture and/or other tests such as antigen and antibody testing for particular types of bacteria are necessary to confirm a diagnosis. Sometimes, susceptibility testing is necessary to determine which antibiotic will be most effective in treating the infection."

occasional

This fits my understanding of the term. 'Occasional workers' are referred to as "eventuales" in Spanglish.

sporadic

I believe it might refer to this meaning of "eventual".

commensal

I did not find "eventuales", but I guess it could refer to the commensal bacteria, the normal flora in human secretions.

The sporadic meaning could also apply in this case.
