LOINC display name : Microorganism preliminary growth Anaerobic culture with antimicrobial neutralizer
Ql (Bld);
LOINC long common name : Microorganism preliminary growth [Presence] in Blood by Anaerobic culture with antimicrobial
neutralizer;
LOINC short name : Microorg prel Bld Ql Anaer cult neut;
LOINC description : This term represents the preliminary step of the culture process that is used to determine
whether or not a viable anaerobic microorganism is present in the specimen. At the
present time (2018), this result would typically be transmitted between laboratory
devices and/or stored in the laboratory information system (LIS/LIMS), but it would
not be used to order a culture or report culture results to the patient's electronic
health record (EHR). Rather, the corresponding LOINC code with Property Prid and Scale
Nom is used to order the culture, report this preliminary result, and report the results
of any subsequent organism identification tests that are performed. This term was
created for, but is not limited in use to, the bioMerieux BacT culture bottles for
the recovery and detection of anaerobic and facultative aerobic microorganisms (bacteria
and fungi).;
