LOINC description : This term represents the preliminary step of the culture process that is used to determine
whether or not viable Mycobacteria are present in the specimen. At the present time
(2019), 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 Mycobacteria.;
