Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus identified in Isolate or Specimen by Molecular genetics method   94512-1

LOINC Code


LOINC code94512-1
nameStaphylococcus aureus and Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus identified in Isolate or Specimen by Molecular genetics method
descriptionDetection of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) DNA in isolates or clinical specimens by molecular methods. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Cephid Xpert MRSA/SA Skin and Soft Tissue Infection Assay (Xpert MRSA/SA SSTI Assay), which is indicated for use in conjunction with other laboratory tests to aid in the detection of MRSA/SA.
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentStaphylococcus aureus & Staphylococcus aureus.methicillin resistant identified
propertyPrid  =  Presence or identity:  Prid stands for “Presence or identity”, is used for assays that detect whether or not an analyte of a particular kind is present, and if it is, to identify the specific analyte.
timePt  =  Point in time:  To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements.
systemIsolate/Specimen
scaleNom  =  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.
methodMolgen  =  Molecular Genetics:  General class of methods used to detect genetic attributes on a molecular basis including RFL, PCR and other methods.
