Cryptococcus sp rRNA gene [Identifier] in Specimen by Sequencing   70907-1

LOINC Code


LOINC code70907-1
nameCryptococcus sp rRNA gene [Identifier] in Specimen by Sequencing
descriptionPCR alone is not sufficient to identify Cryptococcus species. Most most labs would use a generic fungal primer and then sequence to get the actual species. C. neoformans, C. gattii, and C. grubii can be distinguished by sequencing.
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentCryptococcus sp rRNA gene
propertyPrid  =  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.
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.
systemXXX
scaleNom  =  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.
methodSequencing
