LOINC display name : S. intermedius DNA NAA probe Ql (Specimen);
LOINC long common name : Streptococcus intermedius DNA [Presence] in Specimen by NAA with probe detection;
LOINC short name : S intermedius DNA Spec Ql NAA probe;
LOINC description : This term was created for (but not limited to) a Streptococcus species multiplex Taqman
real-time PCR assay, which identifies Streptococcus species within Lancefield group
C and G. The multiplex assay detects genes that encode for the penicillin binding
protein genes (pbp2b) of Streptococcus anginosus, S. constellatus, and S. intermedius;
the intermedialysin (ily) gene of S. intermedius; the chaperonin (cpn60) gene of S.
dysgalactiae subsp equisimilus; and the 16S-23S intergenic spacer region (16S-23S
ITS) of S. constellatus. Real-time PCR method is more rapid and cost-effective compared
to identification of these organisms by 16S sequencing.;
