Bacterial methicillin resistance mecA mRNA:PrThr:Pt:Bld.pos growth:Ord:FISH

Preferred Label : Bacterial methicillin resistance mecA mRNA:PrThr:Pt:Bld.pos growth:Ord:FISH;

LOINC status : ACTIVE;

LOINC display name : Methicillin resistance mecA mRNA FISH Ql (Pos bld culture);

LOINC long common name : Methicillin resistance mecA mRNA [Presence] by FISH in Positive blood culture;

LOINC short name : mecA mRNA Bld Pos Ql FISH;

LOINC description : This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, the AdvanDx mecA XpressFISH assay, which is intended for the detection of mecA mRNA on smears from blood cultures found to be solely positive for Staphylococcus aureus by the Staphylococcus QuickFISH BC assay. Detection of mecA mRNA implies the presence of methicillin-resistant Staph aureus (MRSA), and absence of mecA mRNA implies the presence of methicillin-susceptible Staph aureus (MSSA).;
