cefTRIAXone [Susceptibility] for meningitis by Gradient strip
Active
Term Description
Susceptibility of an isolate to ceftriaxone in the context of a patient with meningitis, i.e., the "meningitis breakpoint". Various agencies, including the FDA and CLSI in the U.S. and EUCAST in Europe, publish guidelines for determining susceptibility of different organisms to different antimicrobials. In most cases, susceptibility does not vary by type of infection, but for a few specific types of infection, including meningitis, pneumonia and urinary tract infection, certain antimicrobials have different susceptibility thresholds.
Part Descriptions
LP15260-0 cefTRIAXone
Ceftriaxone is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It is effective against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and in terms of safety and efficacy, it is equivalent to cefotaxime. Ceftriaxone sodium is marketed by Hoffman-La Roche under the trade name Rocephin.

LP234793-0 Isolate.meningitis
Various agencies, including the FDA and CLSI in the U.S. and EUCAST in Europe, publish guidelines for determining susceptibility of different organisms to different antimicrobials. In most cases, susceptibility does not vary by infection site, but for a few specific types of infection, including meningitis, pneumonia and urinary tract infection, certain antimicrobials have different susceptibility thresholds, which are called "breakpoints". For terms in LOINC that represent specific breakpoints, the LOINC System will indicate the type of infection that the breakpoint is based on, for example, Isolate.meningitis, Isolate.pneumonia, and Isolate.UTI.

LP6300-0 Gradient strip
A gradient strip is a reagent strip that contains a predefined concentration gradient of a specific antibiotic or combination of antibiotics that is used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) and antimicrobial resistance detection (ARD).
For AST, the result is reported in terms of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of a specific antimicrobial that prevents the visible growth of bacteria. In LOINC, the "Gradient strip" method is used for AST gradient strips that result in an MIC result.
For ARD, the result is reported as the presence or absence of a specific enzyme or other mechanism that confers resistance, which is determined based on comparing the inhibitory concentration (IC) of a specific antimicrobial with the IC of that antimicrobial plus a resistance inhibitor. In LOINC, the "Gradient strip ARD" method is used for ARD gradient strips, which are not intended for determining individual MIC values.

- Change Reason
- Feb 2016-removed "E-test" from the short and long names because the "ETEST" name is trademarked; Moved "meningitis" from Component to System to more accurately represent that the concept means antimicrobial susceptibility result for a patient with meningitis rather than susceptibility result for a meningitis form of the antibiotic.
