Cefotaxime [Susceptibility] for meningitis by Disk diffusion (KB)   55189-5

LOINC Code


LOINC code55189-5
nameCefotaxime [Susceptibility] for meningitis by Disk diffusion (KB)
descriptionSusceptibility of an isolate to cefotaxime in the context of a patient with meningitis, i.e., the "meningitis breakpoint". Various agencies, including the FDA and CLSI in the U.S. and EUCAST in Europe, publish guidelines for determining susceptibility of different organisms to different antimicrobials. In most cases, susceptibility does not vary by type of infection, but for a few specific types of infection, including meningitis, pneumonia and urinary tract infection, certain antimicrobials have different susceptibility thresholds.
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentCefotaxime
propertySusc  =  Susceptibility
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.meningitis  =  Isolate from patient with meningitis
scaleOrdQn  =  Quantitative or Ordinal:  Test can be reported as either Ord or Qn, e.g., an antimicrobial susceptibility that can be reported as resistant, intermediate, susceptible or as the mm diameter of the inhibition zone. We discourage the use of OrdQn in other circumstances.
methodAgar diffusion

History/Usage

first released
last updated2.58
last change typeNAM  - change to Analyte/Component
change reasonMoved "meningitis" from Component to System to more accurately represent that the concept means antimicrobial susceptibility result for a patient with meningitis rather than susceptibility result for a meningitis form of the antibiotic.
