| name | |||
| description | Detection of the mecA or mecC gene in methicillin-resistant bacteria, specifically methicillin-resistant staphyloccus aureus (MRSA), in various clinical specimens. The result for this term detects the presence of mecA and mecC genes but does not differentiate between them. This term is based on, but not limited in use to, the submitter's Xpert® MRSA NxG assay. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Bacterial methicillin resistance mecA+mecC 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 | Nose = Nose (nasal passage) | ||
| scale | Ord = Ordinal: Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive. | ||
| method | Probe.amp.tar | ||
