85799-5
LaboratoryBordetella pertussis+bronchiseptica+holmesii IS481 DNA [Cycle Threshold #] in Specimen by NAA with probe detection
Definition
The quantitative (Ct) value of the IS481 insertional element DNA sequence of the Bordetella pertussis and B. holmesii genomes detected in clinical specimens or culture isolates. B. bronchiseptica may also be detected in this assay but is primarily an animal pathogen and rarely found in humans. This assay does not differentiate between the Bordetella species. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Antimicrobial Resistance Laboratory Network's (ARLN) multiplex real-time PCR assay.
