73558-9
LaboratoryStaphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus sp.coagulase negative rRNA [Identifier] by FISH in Positive blood culture
Definition
Staphylococcus aureus and/or coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) commonly isolated from human blood cultures can be detected by qualitative, multicolor nucleic acid hybridization assays. This code is based on, but not limited in use to, the submitted test, AdvanDx's Staphylococcus QuickFISH assay, which is intended for use on cultured blood.
