LOINC display name : Shiga toxin stx gene NAA probe Nom (Specimen);
LOINC long common name : Shiga toxin stx gene [Identifier] in Specimen by NAA with probe detection;
LOINC short name : Shiga toxin stx gene Spec NAA probe;
LOINC description : This term is used to report the detection of genes that encode Shiga toxin (produced
by Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1) or Shiga-like toxin (produced by Escherichia coli,
including E. coli O157:H7). To report the result of an assay that only detects Shiga-like
toxin genes (and not Shiga toxin gene), use a LOINC code with a Component specific
for Shiga-like toxin gene(s), such as [LOINC: 81285-9].;
