Methicillin resistance mecA mRNA [Presence] by FISH in Positive blood culture 77666-6
LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 77666-6 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Methicillin resistance mecA mRNA [Presence] by FISH in Positive blood culture | ||
| description | This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, the AdvanDx mecA XpressFISH® assay, which is intended for the detection of mecA mRNA on smears from blood cultures found to be solely positive for Staphylococcus aureus by the Staphylococcus QuickFISH BC assay. Detection of mecA mRNA implies the presence of methicillin-resistant Staph aureus (MRSA), and absence of mecA mRNA implies the presence of methicillin-susceptible Staph aureus (MSSA). | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Bacterial methicillin resistance mecA mRNA | ||
| 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 | Bld.pos growth | ||
| scale | Ord = Ordinal: Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive. | ||
| method | FISH | ||
Additional Names | |||
| short name | mecA mRNA Bld Pos Ql FISH | ||
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 | MIN - change to field other than name | ||
| 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 around gene name in Component based on the current LOINC model. | ||
