Carbapenem resistance blaVIM gene [Presence] by Molecular method 85501-5
LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 85501-5 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Carbapenem resistance blaVIM gene [Presence] by Molecular method | ||
| description | This term is used to report the carbapenemase resistance bla(VIM) gene, detected in various specimens, including rectal swabs and isolates. It was created for, but is not limited in use to, the GeneXpert Carba-R test kit. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Bacterial carbapenem resistance blaVIM 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 | blaVIM Islt/Spm Ql | ||
