Part Descriptions

LP172560-7   cefTAZidime+Avibactam
Ceftazidime is a third generation cephalosporin that exhibits broad-spectrum treatment against Gram-positive and Gram-negative aerobic bacteria. It is especially effective against Enterobacteriaceae and is resistant to most beta-lactamases. PMID: 3884319 Avibactam is a synthetic non-beta-lactamase inhibitor that is used to treat class A serine carbapenemases including Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC). In 2011, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recognized the gap in antimicrobials against carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) and made the development of such new antimicrobials among its highest priorities. Ceftazidime+Avibactam was approved by an expedited process in 2014 by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat complicated urinary infections caused by (CPE). When ceftazidime+avibactam and metronidazole are use together, they are approved to treat complicated intra-abdominal CPE infections. The first case of resistance of KPC to ceftazidime-avibactam occurred in 2015 in a patient who had never taken ceftazidime-avibactam.[http://aac.asm.org/content/59/10/6605.full] Source: Regenstrief LOINC

LP6300-0   Gradient strip
A gradient strip is a reagent strip that contains a predefined concentration gradient of a specific antibiotic or combination of antibiotics that is used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) and antimicrobial resistance detection (ARD).
For AST, the result is reported in terms of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of a specific antimicrobial that prevents the visible growth of bacteria. In LOINC, the "Gradient strip" method is used for AST gradient strips that result in an MIC result.
For ARD, the result is reported as the presence or absence of a specific enzyme or other mechanism that confers resistance, which is determined based on comparing the inhibitory concentration (IC) of a specific antimicrobial with the IC of that antimicrobial plus a resistance inhibitor. In LOINC, the "Gradient strip ARD" method is used for ARD gradient strips, which are not intended for determining individual MIC values. Source: Regenstrief LOINC
