Vancomycin resistance vanD gene [Presence] by Molecular method

vanD Islt/Spm Ql

Definition

This test detects the presence of the vancomycin resistance gene vanD, and can be run on a bacterial isolate or a primary specimen (such as blood or urine) that is presumed to contain infectious microorganisms. This term was created for the New York State Department of Health and is limited for use by public health laboratories, which are unique in that they can sometimes run tests on any sample, either human or environmental, using locally-developed tests. Other organizations, such as hospitals or commercial laboratories, use a term that specifies the particular specimen(s) that the test kit they are using has been approved for.
