LOINC display name : E. coli oppA gene Nucleic acid capture and probe detection Ql (Pos bld culture);
LOINC long common name : Deprecated Escherichia coli (oppA) gene [Presence] by Nucleic acid capture and probe
detection in Positive blood culture;
LOINC short name : Deprecated E coli oppA Bld Pos Ql Prb Mag;
LOINC description : Magnetic beads and fluorescent probes are used to capture and detect targeted nucleic
acid sequences specific to Escherichia coli species within the oppA gene in positive
blood culture. The oppA gene encodes oligopeptide ABC transporter periplasmic binding
protein, an ATP-dependent oligopeptide transporter that is a member of the ATP-Binding
Cassette (ABC) Superfamily of transporters. This term is based on, but not limited
in use to Nanosphere's Verigene Gram-Negative Blood Culture test, which reports specimens
containing Shigella spp. and/or E. coli as E. coli Detected.;
