Carbapenem resistance blaNDM gene [Presence] by Molecular method   73982-1

LOINC Code


LOINC code73982-1
nameCarbapenem resistance blaNDM gene [Presence] by Molecular method
descriptionDetection of bla(NDM) genotypes by molecular-based assays in isolates positive for gram-negative bacilli. Test is performed to determine resistance to carbapenems due to NDM (New Dehli metallo-β-lactamase) enzyme production.
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentBacterial carbapenem resistance blaNDM 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.

change reasonThe 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.; Corrected Component from "Bacterial carbapenemase resistance" to "Bacterial carbapenem resistance" (because the bacteria are resistant to carbapenem antibiotics by virtue of producing carbapenemase) and removed parentheses around and within the gene name according to recommended nomenclature [PMID: 25249841]; Updated System from "Isolate" and Method from "Probe.amp.tar" according to the new, more sustainable model for LOINC molecular resistance terms [Approved by LOINC Laboratory Committee in June 2018].
