| name | |||
| description | Qualitative detection of nucleic acid sequences in Escherichia coli shiga-like toxin 1 and 2 (stx1/stx2) genes in stool specimens by PCR-based methods. This assay does not differentiate between the two toxin genes. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the xTAG® Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel (GPP). | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Escherichia coli Stx1+Stx2 toxin stx1+stx2 genes | ||
| 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 | Stool = Stool = Fecal | ||
| scale | Ord = Ordinal: Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive. | ||
| method | Probe.amp.tar | ||
