LOINC long common name : Staphylococcus aureus.vancomycin resistance [Susceptibility] Qualitative;
LOINC short name : VRSA Islt Ql;
LOINC description : This is a screening assay to determine the sensitivity of Staphylococcus aureus isolates
from clinical specimens to vancomycin 6.0 ug/mL. If vancomycin inhibits the growth
of the isolate, then that isolate is susceptible to vancomycin. On the other hand,
if an isolate grows despite the presence of vancomycin, it is characterized as vancomycin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA). This term was created for, but is not limited in use
to, the North Carolina State Laboratory of Public Health.;
