| name | Bacteria.extended spectrum beta lactamase resistance [Identifier] in Anal by Organism specific culture | ||
| description | Screening for bacteria with extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) enzymes may be performed using a rectal swab plated onto a culture medium (e.g. MacConkey agar) containing high concentraitons of a 3rd generation cephalosporin. Any bacterial growth will be identified and full susceptibility performed. Patients infected with gram negative bacteria with ESBL enzymes are a concern for inpatients, especially those who are admitted from extended care facilities. This is for infection control purposes to know a patient needs to be on contact isolation. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Bacteria.extended spectrum beta lactamase resistance | ||
| 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 | Anal = Anus | ||
| 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 | Organism specific culture | ||
