LOINC Code


LOINC code85042-0
nameStaphylococcus aureus glycopeptide resistant identified [Type] in Isolate
descriptionThis term is used to report the presence of Staph aureus strains with intermediate or heterogeneous glycopeptide resistance, called GISA and hGISA respectively. One method for differentiating GISA from hGISA is based on comparison of inhibitory concentration results for vancomycin plus teicoplanin [LOINC: 85045-3] with the result for vancomycin alone [LOINC: 7059-9]. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, bioMerieux's ETEST GRD assay, which, when used together with a vancomycin susceptibility gradient strip, can differentiate between GISA and hGISA.

Fully-Specified Name

componentStaphylococcus aureus.glycopeptide resistant identified
propertyType  =  Type:  The Property Type is used for assays that identify the specific analyte in cases when the baseline presence of the analyte is known.
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.
systemIsolate
scaleNom  =  Nominal:  Nominal or categorical responses that do not have a natural ordering. (e.g., names of bacteria, reported as answers, categories of appearance that do not have a natural ordering, such as, yellow, clear, bloody.
