LOINC display name : E. faecalis and other enterococcus sp rRNA FISH Nom (Pos bld culture);
LOINC long common name : Enterococcus faecalis and other enterococcus sp rRNA [Identifier] by FISH in Positive
blood culture;
LOINC short name : E faecalis othr E sp rRNA Bld Pos FISH;
LOINC description : Enterococcus species, including E. faecalis and/or other enterococcus species (not
differentiated), can be identified on smears from positive blood cultures by qualitative,
multicolor nucleic acid hybridization assays targeting specific ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
sequences. This code is based on, but not limited in use to, a submission for AdvanDx's
Enterococcus QuickFISH BC assay. The test is done on blood cultures that have positive
growth of an organism, not directly from a blood sample.;
