Publication number: 20230194521Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for liquefying respiratory samples, such as sputum samples. Samples of this type are characterized in that they can be highly viscous or semisolid, which means that to detect pathogenic microorganisms in them, they require prior treatment in order to make them more liquid and homogeneous. The liquefaction method proposed in the present innovation enables pathogenic microorganisms that cause respiratory infections to be subsequently detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2021Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Roberto DE LA RICA QUESADA, Antonio CLEMENTE XIMENIS, Antonio OLIVER PALOMO, Estrella ROJO MOLINERO
