Title:
BACTERIA IDENTIFICATION AND ANTIBIOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY PROFILING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/172644
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The system described herein for bacterial identification can be used as a point-of-care or lab- based diagnostic system. In some implementations, the system can be used to detect other foreign agents within blood or other samples. The system can include disposable microfluidic cartridges that are removable from the system. The microfluidic cartridges can receive a sample, such as a blood sample, that is suspected of containing bacterial cells and separate the bacterial cells from the blood sample. Once the bacterial cells are separated from the blood, the system can introduce the recombinant detector bacteriophages into the system that can infect the bacterial cells. The system can then detect the expression of reporter genes from the recombinant detector bacteriophages.
