Deprecated Citrobacter sp (ompA+mrkC) genes [Presence] by Nucleic acid capture and probe detection in Positive blood culture   75675-9

LOINC Code


LOINC code75675-9
nameDeprecated Citrobacter sp (ompA+mrkC) genes [Presence] by Nucleic acid capture and probe detection in Positive blood culture
descriptionMagnetic beads and fluorescent probes are used to capture and detect targeted nucleic acid sequences specific to Citrobacter species within the ompA and mrkC genes in positive blood culture. The ompA gene encodes "outer membrane protein A" and the mrkC gene encodes "type 3 fimbriae usher".
statusDEPRECATED
status reasonDuplicate - The "Probe.mag capture" Method has been deprecated and replaced with the more general "Probe" Method since the "mag capture" portion represents how the nucleic acids are isolated, which is not a distinction made in the LOINC Method for molecular tests. Given that updating the Method would change the meaning of the term, a new term was created to replace the existing term as recommended by the Special Topics workgroup on PCR-based Methods and approved by the LOINC Lab Committee at the June 2017 meeting.

Fully-Specified Name

componentCitrobacter sp (ompA+mrkC) genes
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.
systemBld.pos growth
scaleOrd  =  Ordinal:  Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive.
methodProbe.mag capture

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

first released
last updated2.63
last change typeDEL  - delete (deprecate)
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.
