GP bact DNA Bld Pos Ql NAA+probe

Definition

This term is used for assays that detect but do not distinguish between a range of Gram positive bacteria. If the result for this test is positive, follow-up testing is recommended to determine the specific species present. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, the GenMark Diagnostics' Pan Gram-Positive assay, which is included in the Gram-Negative panel and can detect a variety of Gram positive organisms including Bacillus cereus group, Bacillus subtilis group, Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus.
