LOINC Code 75676-7: Enterobacter sp gyrB+metB genes Nucleic acid capture and probe detection Ql (Pos bld culture)

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 Enterobacter sp (gyrB+metB) genes. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Bld.pos growth.

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: DEPRECATED
• Order vs observation: Observation
• Method: Probe.mag capture

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Deprecated Enterobacter sp (gyrB+metB) genes [Presence] by Nucleic acid capture and probe detection in Positive blood culture
• Enterobacter sp (gyrB+metB) genes
• Magnetic beads and fluorescent probes are used to capture and detect targeted nucleic acid sequences specific to Enterobacter species within the gyrB and metB genes in positive blood culture. The gyrB gene encodes "DNA gyrase subunit B", and the metB gene encodes "cystathionine gamma-synthase".
