Abstract: The invention relates to novel methods of diagnosis of the presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in a liquid or solid sample, detection of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections in humans or animals, and the use of antibodies or other specific binding molecules capable of binding to products of reactions carried out by bacterial enzymes which confer antibiotic resistance upon bacteria.
Abstract: In some aspects, provided are methods relating to the use of bacterial N-methyl-2 superfamily proteins as a biomarker for the presence of bacteria in a sample. The invention also relates to novel methods of diagnosis of the presence of bacteria in a liquid or solid sample, detection of bacterial infections in humans or animals, and use of antibodies or other specific binding molecules capable of binding to N-methyl-2 superfamily proteins.
Abstract: The invention describes immunochromatographic protocols in which one or more analytes, such as a bacteria or virus, can be assayed utilizing a “sandwich” complex.
Abstract: The present invention provides internally calibrated competitive assays for use on a solid support. Additionally, the invention provides a method of using such assays.
