LOINC display name : Microscopic observation Gram stain Nom (Milk);
LOINC long common name : Microscopic observation [Identifier] in Milk by Gram stain;
LOINC short name : Gram Stn Mlk;
LOINC description : Milk specimens can be tested for infectious organisms as part of regulatory testing,
quality control, or during an infectious disease outbreak. Typically, microorganisms
that survive pasteurization are gram-positive, and gram-negative bacteria do not survive
the process of pasteurization; however, if any gram-negative organisms do survive,
they tend to spoil milk more quickly than gram-positive organisms. [https://dairyextension.foodscience.cornell.edu/sites/dairyextension.foodscience.cornell.edu/files/shared/Diary%20Microbiology.pdf];
