Staphylococcus aureus Panton-Valentine leukocidin gene [Presence] in Isolate or Specimen by Molecular genetics method 48816-3
LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 48816-3 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Staphylococcus aureus Panton-Valentine leukocidin gene [Presence] in Isolate or Specimen by Molecular genetics method | ||
| description | The test is for the detection of the 2 genes that cause S.aureus to produce the PVL cytotoxin. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Staphylococcus aureus Panton-Valentine leukocidin gene | ||
| property | PrThr = 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. | ||
| 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 | Isolate/Specimen | ||
| scale | Ord = Ordinal: Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive. | ||
| method | Molgen = Molecular Genetics: General class of methods used to detect genetic attributes on a molecular basis including RFL, PCR and other methods. | ||
Additional Names | |||
| short name | S aureus PVL gene Islt/Spm Ql | ||

Associated Observations | |||
LOINC codes that represent optional associated observation(s) for a clinical observation or laboratory test. A LOINC term may represent a single associated observation or panel containing several associated observations. | |||
History/Usage | |||
| test rank | 15279 of 2000 most commonly performed tests by labs in USA | ||
| first released | |||
| last updated | 2.73 | ||
| last change type | MIN - change to field other than name | ||
| change reason | Release 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. | ||
