GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:N.A.
English translation:nicht auswertbar/ not assessable
Entered by: Sonja Poeltl

German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Health Care
German term or phrase: N.A.
Abstrich Nase/Anal: Staph. epidermidis +/-
Abstrich Rachen: Staph. epidermidis +, Acinetobacter Iwoffii ***N.A.***

Does that belong to the name of the bacterium, or does it mean "nicht analysiert oder nicht auswertbar"?
Any suggestions?

nicht auswertbar
Explanation:
Ohne den Kontext kann man nur annehmen, dass es sich hier um die Auswertung eines Resistogramms handelt. Wurde vielleicht davor im Text ein Antibiotikum erwähnt auf das die jeweiligen Erreger ansprechen? In dem Falle konnte das Ansprechen des Erregers Acinetobacter Iwoffii nicht ausgewertet werden.

N.A. abreviation for Nomina Anatomica; as Na = symbol of Natrium


Explanation:
N.A as it is writen is an abreviation used in medicine for Nomina Anatomica; may be, too, the chemical symbol for Natrium (in this case the symbol is not correct, should be Na)
