| name | ||
| description | Test is to detect resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains to fluoroquinolones (FLQs) due to mutations present in the gyrA gene (coding for DNA gyrase). The types of mutations present or absent indicate if the isolate is susceptible or resistant to fluoroquinolones. This code is based on, but not limited in use to, the submitter's test kit: HAIN Lifescience's GenoType MTBDRsl. | |
| status | ACTIVE | |
Fully-Specified Name | ||
| component | Mycobacterium tuberculosis gyrA gene fluoroquinolone resistance mutation | |
| 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. | |
