| description | Qualitative results for the detection of internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region of the ribosomal gene in Candida auris DNA from clinical specimens, including swabs from nasal, axilla, and groin as well as from various surfaces in clinical settings. The test is used for rapid screening of C. auris in order to control and prevent its spread in the healthcare facilities. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the New York Public Health lab's real-time PCR assay, which detects C. auris and related species: Candida duobushaemulonii, Candida haemulonii, and Candida lusitaniae. | |
| status | ACTIVE | |

| component | Candida auris ITS2 gene | |
| 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 | XXX | |
| scale | Ord = Ordinal: Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive. | |
| method | Probe.amp.tar | |
