| description | This term is used to report the presence of Staph aureus strains with intermediate or heterogeneous glycopeptide resistance, called GISA and hGISA respectively. One method for differentiating GISA from hGISA is based on comparison of inhibitory concentration results for vancomycin plus teicoplanin [LOINC: 85045-3] with the result for vancomycin alone [LOINC: 7059-9]. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, bioMerieux's ETEST GRD assay, which, when used together with a vancomycin susceptibility gradient strip, can differentiate between GISA and hGISA. | ||

| component | Staphylococcus aureus.glycopeptide resistant identified | ||
| property | Type = Type: The Property Type is used for assays that identify the specific analyte in cases when the baseline presence of the analyte is known. | ||
| 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 | ||
| 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. | ||
