Hello Joe,
Not in practice but in perspective (all I can offer), I'd suggest looking it at the opposite way. They are suspected as having an infection unless proven otherwise. Try.. Everyone is septic until proven otherwise.

Has anybody created any guidelines to define this and make it more consistent/objective?
