LaboratoryEscherichia coli DNA [Presence] by NAA with non-probe detection in Positive blood culture
Definition
Qualitative detection of nucleic acid sequences in Escherichia coli DNA in positive blood culture specimens by target amplification and non-probe detection methods, such as melt curve analysis. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's test kit, FilmArray Blood Culture Identification panel v2. This assay does not differentiate between E coli, the primary pathogen of interest, and various Shigella species, which are both phenotypically and genetically similar to E coli but rarely isolated from blood culture.
