Term Description

Detection of the mecA or mecC gene in methicillin-resistant bacteria, specifically methicillin-resistant staphyloccus aureus (MRSA), in various clinical specimens. The result for this term detects the presence of mecA and mecC genes but does not differentiate between them. This term is based on, but not limited in use to, the submitter's Xpert® MRSA NxG assay.

Part Descriptions

LP249930-1   Bacterial methicillin resistance mecA+mecC genes
The mecA gene and its homologue, mecC, are found in bacterial cells and enable bacteria to be resistant to antibiotics such as penicillin, oxacillin and other penicillin-like antibiotics. These genes are carried on a mobile genetic element called the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec), which integrates at an open reading frame (orfX) in the bacterial genome. The most commonly known carrier of the mecA gene is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The prevalence of mecC MRSA is currently low but varies geographically where in some regions its presence is increasing. PMID: 24331435 Source: Regenstrief LOINC

LP265773-4   Bacterial ABXBACT probe.amp.tar
PCR-based Methods for bacterial susceptibility are similar to genotyping for viral susceptibility, in that resistance or susceptibility is inferred based on the presence or absence of specific genetic information that is known to encode resistance to a specific antibiotic or group of antibiotics. For bacteria, resistance is often conferred by genes that are carried on plasmids, which can be transferred from one species to another. These genes encode proteins that specifically inhibit certain antibiotics, such as carbapenems or aminoglycosides. Source: Regenstrief LOINC
