Escherichia coli Stx2 toxin stx2 gene [Presence] in Stool by NAA with probe detection 79387-7
LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 79387-7 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| name | Escherichia coli Stx2 toxin stx2 gene [Presence] in Stool by NAA with probe detection | ||||
| description | This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, Nanosphere's Verigene Enteric Pathogens Nucleic Acid Test, which is intended for the detection and identification of common pathogenic enteric bacteria, viruses, and genetic virulence markers in stool specimens from individuals with signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal infection. | ||||
| status | ACTIVE | ||||
Fully-Specified Name | |||||
| component | Escherichia coli Stx2 toxin stx2 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 | Stool = Stool = Fecal | ||||
| scale | Ord = Ordinal: Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive. | ||||
| method | Probe.amp.tar | ||||
Additional Names | |||||
| short name | EC stx2 gene Stl Ql NAA+probe | ||||

| last updated | 2.73 | ||||
| last change type | MIN - change to field other than name | ||||
| change reason | Changed Component from "Bacterial shiga-like toxin 2 (stx2) gene" to "Escherichia coli shiga-like toxin 2 (stx2) gene" since stx1 is only produced by E.coli.; 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.; Updated Component from "Escherichia coli shiga-like toxin 2 (stx2) gene" based on the current E. coli nomenclature and LOINC model. | ||||
