LOINC display name : B. mayonii oppA1 gene NAA non-probe Ql (Specimen);
LOINC long common name : Borrelia mayonii oppA1 gene [Presence] in Specimen by NAA with non-probe detection;
LOINC short name : B mayonii oppA1 Spec Ql NAA non-probe;
LOINC description : The DNA amplification target is the 283-bp plasminogen-binding protein gene (oppA1),
which is present at a frequency of one copy per organism in all four pathogenic species
of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato genogroup (Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto,
Borrelia afzelii, Borrelia garinii, and Borrelia mayonii). Melting curve analysis
is used to identify B. mayonii and differentiate it from the other three species.
Potential specimens include CSF, tissue and synovial fluid.;
