Laboratory

Shiga toxin stx gene [Identifier] in Specimen by NAA with probe detection

Definition

This term is used to report the detection of genes that encode Shiga toxin (produced by Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1) or Shiga-like toxin (produced by Escherichia coli, including E. coli O157:H7). To report the result of an assay that only detects Shiga-like toxin genes (and not Shiga toxin gene), use a LOINC code with a Component specific for Shiga-like toxin gene(s), such as [LOINC: 81285-9].
