LOINC display name : B. pertussis parapertussis ptxS1 gene NAA probe (Specimen) [ThreshNum];
LOINC long common name : Bordetella pertussis parapertussis ptxS1 gene [Cycle Threshold #] in Specimen by NAA
with probe detection;
LOINC short name : B pert parap ptxS1 Ct Spec Qn NAA probe;
LOINC description : The quantitative (Ct) value of a targeted sequence in ptxS1, the S1 subunit of the
pertussis toxin gene, which is present in a single copy in B. pertussis and B. parapertussis
genomes. This test detects but does not distinguish between B. pertussis and B. parapertussis.
This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Antimicrobial Resistance
Laboratory Network's (ARLN) multiplex (IS481/pIS1001/hIS1001) and singleplex (ptxS1)
real-time PCR assays for the detection and identification of Bordetella pertussis,
B. parapertussis, and B. holmesii in clinical specimens or culture isolates.;
