Title:
METHOD AND KIT FOR IDENTIFYING PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003106697
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method of identifying a bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, in a sample, includes providing a sample suspect of comprising a bacteria to be identified, exposing the sample to an antibody specific for a lipoprotein of the bacteria and an agglutination reagent, allowing the sample to react with the antibody and the agglutination reagent, wherein the presence of the bacteria is indicated if an agglutination occurs. A kit for testing the presence of a bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, includes an agglutination reagent and an antibody specific for a lipoprotein of the bacteria.
