LOINC description : The interpretation for RT-PCR detection of full length and truncated gene variants
of the erm(41) gene unique to Mycobacterium abscessus complex (M. abscessus, M. massiliense,
and M. bolletii) from clinical isolates. The presence of a full length functional
erm(41)gene confers inducible resistance to clarithromycin while the non-functional
truncated erm(41) gene exhibits higher drug susceptibility.[PMID: 22290346];
