Shiga toxin stx gene [Identifier] in Specimen by NAA with probe detection 33764-2
LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 33764-2 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Shiga toxin stx gene [Identifier] in Specimen by NAA with probe detection | ||
| description | This term is used to report the detection of genes that encode Shiga toxin (produced by Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1) or Shiga-like toxin (produced by Escherichia coli, including E. coli O157:H7). To report the result of an assay that only detects Shiga-like toxin genes (and not Shiga toxin gene), use a LOINC code with a Component specific for Shiga-like toxin gene(s), such as [LOINC: 81285-9]. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Shiga toxin stx gene | ||
| property | Prid = Presence or identity: Prid stands for “Presence or identity”, is used for assays that detect whether or not an analyte of a particular kind is present, and if it is, to identify the specific analyte. | ||
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||
| system | XXX | ||
| scale | Nom = Nominal: Nominal or categorical responses that do not have a natural ordering. (e.g., names of bacteria, reported as answers, categories of appearance that do not have a natural ordering, such as, yellow, clear, bloody. | ||
| method | Probe.amp.tar | ||
