LOINC description : Identification of 12 Gram-positive bacterial targets and three genetic markers of
antibiotic resistance directly from positive blood cultures. Magnetic beads are used
to capture nucleic acids followed by oligonucleotide probe detection of sequence of
interest. Direct detection (non-PCR) based methods do not involve DNA amplification
and therefore avoid amplications of contaminants. This panel was created for, but
not limited in use to, Nanosphere's Verigene Gram-Positive Blood Culture test (BC-GP),
which uses microarray analysis with probe to identify gram-positive bacteria, including
Staphylococcus spp., S. aureus, S. epidermidis, S. lugdudensis, Streptococcus spp.,
S. pyogenes, S. agalactiae, S. anginosus group, S. pneumoniae, E. faecalis, E. faecium,
and Listeria spp. as well as the mecA, vanA, and vanB genes.;
