Bed Site Testing

(same as POCT or Point-of-care testing) is defined as medical diagnostic testing at (or near) the point of care, at the time and place of patient care. It is medical testing that is performed outside of a laboratory setting.

CCDs

Cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants describe protein-linked carbohydrate structures responsible for the phenomenon of cross-reactivity of sera from allergic patients towards a wide range of allergens from plants and insects.

Covid19 (Coronavirus disease 2019)

Is an infectious disease caused by novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). SARS-CoV-2 is the third zoonotic coronavirus to be identified (after SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV). The immune response by humans to CoV-2 virus occurs as a combination of cell-mediated immunity and antibody production.

IgE

Immunoglobulin E is a type of antibody that has only been found in mammals. IgE is synthesised by plasma cells. Its main function is immunity to parasites such as helminths. IgE has an essential role in type I hypersensitivity, which manifests in various allergic diseases. IgE also plays a pivotal role in responses to allergens such as: anaphylactic reactions to drugs, bee stings, and antigen preparations used in desensitization immunotherapy.

MALDI-TOF

Matrix  Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization (MALDI) combined with flight time detector (TOF = Time of Flight). The spectrophotometric method for accurate identification of bacteria, fungi and yeasts isolated from biological material, animals, food and environmental samples. It is a very efficient, fast and robust method for microbiological laboratories.

MIC

The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of an antibiotic is the lowest concentration of the antimicrobial chemical that inhibits the visible growth of the microorganism after 24 hours of incubation.

Multiplex pcr

Multiplex polymerase chain reaction is a type of PCR  when DNA in samples is amplified using multiple primers and a temperature-mediated DNA polymerase in a thermal cycler. The method is used to amplify several different DNA sequences simultaneously (as if performing many separate PCR reactions all together in one reaction).

Nasopharyngeal swab

A method for collecting a clinical test sample of nasal secretions from the back of the nose and throat. The pharynx is the part of the throat behind the mouth and nasal cavity, and above the esophagus and larynx – the tubes going down to the stomach and the lungs. The nasopharynx is the upper portion of the pharynx.
