Methicillin resistance mecC gene [Presence] by Molecular method 86621-0
LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 86621-0 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Methicillin resistance mecC gene [Presence] by Molecular method | ||
| description | Detection of the mecC gene in methicillin-resistant bacteria, specifically methicillin-resistant staphyloccus aureus (MRSA), in various clinical specimens. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Bacterial methicillin resistance mecC 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 | MRB mecC Islt/Spm Ql | ||
