Change Reason
The PrThr property is used for LOINC terms whose results are reported using an ordered categorical scale, regardless of whether or not an internal threshold was used to make that determination. This change was approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.; Added "tcdB gene" to the Component since this assay detects nucleic acids within the tcdB gene of C. difficile; Updated genus name from Clostridium to Clostridioides based on current (2019) accepted nomenclature for this genus [PMID:27370902].
