| name | Staphylococcus species methicillin resistant identified in Isolate or Specimen by Molecular genetics method | ||
| description | The detection of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus species (MRSA), MSSA (methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus) and/or CoNS (Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus) in isolates or clinical specimens, such as nasal/throat, wound, groin and perineum swabs. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Bosch Vivalytic MRSA assay, a multiplex real-time PCR used for the detection MRSA/SA infections in healthcare settings. This MRSA assay is based on qualitative detection of nucleic acids targets in the SCCmec/orfX junction, mecA & mecC genes, and S. aureus-specific gene targets, such as SA442 or spa genes. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Staphylococcus sp.methicillin resistant identified | ||
| property | Prid = Presence or identity: Prid stands for “Presence or identity”, is used for assays that detect whether or not an analyte of a particular kind is present, and if it is, to identify the specific analyte. | ||
| 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 | Nom = 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. | ||
| method | Molgen = Molecular Genetics: General class of methods used to detect genetic attributes on a molecular basis including RFL, PCR and other methods. | ||
