LOINC Code


LOINC code96309-0
nameMethicillin resistance mecA+mecC genes+SCCmec+OrfX junction [Presence] by Molecular method
descriptionThis assay detects the presence of nucleic acids within the mecA/mecC genes and SCCmec+OrfX junction (MREJ) found in methicillin-resistance bacteria. This assay detects but does not differentiate between mecA/C and MREJ.
statusACTIVE

propertyPrThr  =  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.
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/Specimen
scaleOrd  =  Ordinal:  Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive.
methodMolgen  =  Molecular Genetics:  General class of methods used to detect genetic attributes on a molecular basis including RFL, PCR and other methods.
