| 20110183314 | BACTERIOPHAGE-BASED MICROORGANISM DIAGNOSTIC ASSAY USING SPEED OR ACCELERATION OF BACTERIOPHAGE REPRODUCTION - A method of determining the presence or absence of a target microorganism in a sample to be tested, the method comprising: combining with the sample an amount of bacteriophage capable of infecting the target microorganism to create a bacteriophage-exposed sample; and measuring the time rate of change of the amount of said bacteriophage or the change in the rate of change of the amount of said bacteriophage as an indication of the presence or absence of the target microorganism as a function of time. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20100196877 | METHOD OF DETECTION OF MICROORGANISMS WITH ENHANCED BACTERIOPHAGE AMPLIFICATION - A method of determining the presence or absence of a target microorganism in a sample to be tested, the method comprising: combining with the sample an amount of bacteriophage capable of attaching to the target microorganism to create a bacteriophage exposed sample, and a substance which enhances bacteriophage amplification or sensitivity; providing conditions to the bacteriophage-exposed sample sufficient to allow the bacteriophage to infect the microorganism; and assaying the bacteriophage-exposed sample to detect the presence or absence of a bacteriophage marker to determine the presence or absence of the target microorganism. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20080286757 | Method and Apparatus for Identification of Microorganisms Using Bacteriophage - A sample is tested for the presence of bacteria, such as in an automatic blood culturing apparatus. If bacteria are determined to be present, a bacteriophage-based bacteria identification process is performed to identify the bacteria present. A plurality of bacteria detection processes, such as a blood culture test and Gram stain test may be carried out prior to the bacteria identification process. A bacteriophage-based antibiotic resistance test or antibiotic susceptibility test is also conducted on the sample. | 11-20-2008 |
