LOINC display name : M. tuberculosis gyrA gene fluoroquinolone resistance mutation Molgen Ql (Islt/Spec);
LOINC long common name : Mycobacterium tuberculosis gyrA gene fluoroquinolone resistance mutation [Presence]
by Molecular method;
LOINC short name : MTB gyrA fluoroquin res mut Islt/Spm Ql;
LOINC description : Test is to detect resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains to fluoroquinolones
(FLQs) due to mutations present in the gyrA gene (coding for DNA gyrase). The types
of mutations present or absent indicate if the isolate is susceptible or resistant
to fluoroquinolones. This code is based on, but not limited in use to, the submitter's
test kit: HAIN Lifescience's GenoType MTBDRsl.;
