LOINC description : Identification of gram-positive (GP) bacterial targets and three genetic markers of
antibiotic resistance directly from positive blood cultures by oligonucleotide probe
detection of sequence of interest. Direct detection (non-PCR) based methods do not
involve DNA amplification and therefore avoid amplications of contaminants. This panel
was created for, but not limited in use to, Nanosphere's Verigene Gram-Positive Blood
Culture test (BC-GP), which uses microarray analysis with probe to identify gram-positive
bacteria, including Staphylococcus spp., S. aureus, S. epidermidis, S. lugdudensis,
Streptococcus spp., S. pyogenes, S. agalactiae, S. anginosus group, S. pneumoniae,
E. faecalis, E. faecium, and Listeria spp. as well as the mecA, vanA, and vanB genes.;
