LOINC display name : Microorganism molecular resistance panel Molgen (Islt/Spec);
LOINC long common name : Microorganism molecular resistance panel by Molecular genetics method;
LOINC short name : Micro molecular resistance Pnl Islt/Spm;
LOINC description : This panel is used to report the results for molecular microorganism resistance testing
and includes terms to report the resistance genes, target sequences and/or mutations
tested for and identified, as well as the predicted susceptibility or resistance to
one or more antimicrobials based on the genotyping results. The panel includes a representative
set of LOINC terms for various antimicrobials, but any LOINC term for antimicrobial
susceptibility by genotyping may be used as appropriate depending on genes and/or
mutations tested for. Note that a single instance of the terms included in the panel
is used to report the results for a single resistance gene or mutation, so if more
than one gene or mutation was tested for, the panel should be repeated for each one.
For example, if a particular assay targets both the rpoB and katG resistance genes
for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, then the first instance of the panel would
be used to report the molecular results for rpoB and predicted susceptibility for
rifampin, and the second instance would be used for katG and isoniazid. If using HL7
v2 messaging, the results would be linked using OBX-4.;
