LOINC long common name : Cefotaxime [Susceptibility] for meningitis;
LOINC short name : Cefotaxime Susc Islt.mening;
LOINC description : Susceptibility of an isolate to cefotaxime in the context of a patient with meningitis,
i.e., the meningitis breakpoint. Various agencies, including the FDA and CLSI in the
U.S. and EUCAST in Europe, publish guidelines for determining susceptibility of different
organisms to different antimicrobials. In most cases, susceptibility does not vary
by type of infection, but for a few specific types of infection, including meningitis,
pneumonia and urinary tract infection, certain antimicrobials have different susceptibility
thresholds.;
