Bordetella pertussis.pertussis toxin promoter region [Presence] in Nasopharynx by NAA with probe detection 80600-0
LOINC Code
LOINC code
80600-0
name
Bordetella pertussis.pertussis toxin promoter region [Presence] in Nasopharynx by NAA with probe detection
description
Detection of targeted nucleic acid sequences in the Bordetella pertussis toxin promoter region by PCR-based methods. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Verigene® Respiratory Pathogens Flex Nucleic Acid Test (RP Flex), a multiplexed, qualitative test for the detection and identification of multiple viral and bacterial genetic virulence markers from nasopharyngeal swab specimens
status
ACTIVE
Fully-Specified Name
component
Bordetella pertussis.pertussis toxin promoter region
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.
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.
