LOINC long common name : Penicillin Parenteral [Susceptibility] for meningitis by Minimum inhibitory concentration
(MIC);
LOINC short name : Penicillin Parenteral Islt.mening MIC;
LOINC description : Susceptibility of an isolate to parenteral penicillin 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.;
