LOINC description : Magnetic beads and fluorescent probes are used to capture and detect targeted nucleic
acid sequences specific to Citrobacter species within the ompA and mrkC genes in positive
blood culture. The ompA gene encodes outer membrane protein A and the mrkC gene encodes
type 3 fimbriae usher.;
