LOINC Code


LOINC code48816-3
nameStaphylococcus aureus Panton-Valentine leukocidin gene [Presence] in Isolate or Specimen by Molecular genetics method
descriptionThe test is for the detection of the 2 genes that cause S.aureus to produce the PVL cytotoxin.
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentStaphylococcus aureus Panton-Valentine leukocidin gene
propertyPrThr  =  Present or threshold:  The Property PrThr stands for “Presence or Threshold”, meaning either a) the actual presence or absence of an analyte, or b) that the amount of analyte detected is over some predetermined threshold.
timePt  =  Point in time:  To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements.
systemIsolate/Specimen
scaleOrd  =  Ordinal:  Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive.
methodMolgen  =  Molecular Genetics:  General class of methods used to detect genetic attributes on a molecular basis including RFL, PCR and other methods.

last change typeMIN  - change to field other than name
change reasonRelease 2.70: METHOD_TYP: Updated Method from Probe.amp.tar to allow use for other molecular methods and decrease redundancy; SYSTEM: Updated System from XXX for consistency with other bacterial resistance terms; Previous Releases: The PrThr property is used for LOINC terms whose results are reported using an ordered categorical scale, regardless of whether or not an internal threshold was used to make that determination. This change was approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.
