Methicillin resistance mecA gene [Presence] by NAA with non-probe detection in Positive blood culture 85786-2
LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 85786-2 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Methicillin resistance mecA gene [Presence] by NAA with non-probe detection in Positive blood culture | ||
| description | Qualitative detection of the nucleic acid sequences in the bacterial methicillin resistance mecA gene in positive blood culture specimens by target amplification and non-probe detection methods, such as melt curve analysis. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's test kit, FilmArray Blood Culture Identification panel v2. For the FilmArray kit, a "Not Detected" result does not indicate antimicrobial susceptibility. Subculturing is required for species identification and susceptibility testing of isolates. | ||
| status | DISCOURAGED | ||

Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Bacterial methicillin resistance mecA 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 | Bld.pos growth | ||
| scale | Ord = Ordinal: Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive. | ||
| method | Non-probe.amp.tar | ||
