LOINC Code 103601-1: Staphylococcus aureus MLVA type Molgen Nom (Islt/Spec)

What is this code?

LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Staphylococcus aureus MLVA type. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Isolate/Specimen.

When is it used?

• Used in lab systems, EHRs, and clinical data exchange.
• May identify a test, observation, survey item, or clinical document request rather than a diagnosis.
• Status: ACTIVE
• Order vs observation: Both
• Method: Molgen

What it does not mean

• The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

• Staphylococcus aureus MLVA type in Isolate or Specimen by Molecular genetics method
• Staphylococcus aureus MLVA type
• This test identifies the MRSA molecular typing. The MLVA type identifies the type of staphylococcus aureus strain using variable-number tandem repeat (VNTR) loci. are regions of coding and non-coding nucleotide repeats that are adjacent to each other and that vary in number This different microorganisms. Analysis of VNTR is the basis for MLVA (multilocus VNTR analysis)
