Vancomycin resistance vanD gene [Presence] by Molecular method 75753-4
LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 75753-4 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Vancomycin resistance vanD gene [Presence] by Molecular method | ||
| description | This test detects the presence of the vancomycin resistance gene vanD, and can be run on a bacterial isolate or a primary specimen (such as blood or urine) that is presumed to contain infectious microorganisms. This term was created for the New York State Department of Health and is limited for use by public health laboratories, which are unique in that they can sometimes run tests on any sample, either human or environmental, using locally-developed tests. Other organizations, such as hospitals or commercial laboratories, use a term that specifies the particular specimen(s) that the test kit they are using has been approved for. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Bacterial vancomycin resistance vanD 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 | vanD Islt/Spm Ql | ||
Basic Attributes | |||
| class | ABXBACT | ||
| type | 1 Laboratory | ||
| order vs. observation | Both | ||
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 updated | 2.65 | ||
| last change type | MAJ - change to name field other than Component; | ||
| change reason | 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.; Removed parentheses from Component because the contents represent a gene name, not an acronym.; Updated System from "XXX" 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]. | ||
