LOINC Code 85787-0: Vancomycin resistance vanA + vanB genes NAA+non-probe 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 Bacterial vancomycin resistance vanA+vanB 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: DISCOURAGED
• Order vs observation: Both
• Method: Non-probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Vancomycin resistance vanA + vanB genes [Presence] by NAA with non-probe detection in Positive blood culture
• Bacterial vancomycin resistance vanA+vanB genes
• Qualitative detection of the nucleic acid sequences in the bacterial vancomycin resistance vanA and/or vanB genes in positive blood culture specimens by target amplification and non-probe detection methods, such as melt curve analysis. This assay detects the presence of vanA and/or vanB genes and cannot distinguish between the two. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's test kit, FilmArray Blood Culture Identification panel v2.
