  • Method for identification
    Patent number: 7470520
    Abstract: The present invention is generally related to products and methods permitting the identification of Enterobacter species organisms. In addition, the invention provides the capability to differentiate Enterobacter infections from other acute bacterial infections.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 9, 2005
    Date of Patent: December 30, 2008
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army
    Inventor: Ilya Elashvili
  • Rapid screening and analysis of present and potential nerve agents and their degradation products
    Patent number: 7291478
    Abstract: Methods are described for detecting organophosphorus compounds in a sample.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 29, 2005
    Date of Patent: November 6, 2007
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army
    Inventor: Ilya Elashvili
  • Method for detecting G- and V-agents of chemical warfare and their degradation products
    Patent number: 6897032
    Abstract: Methods are described for detecting chemical warfare agents that contain organophosphorus compounds. Compositions containing either (1) a sufficient amount of phosphonate ester hydrolase with an alkali agent or (2) a sufficient amount of phosphonate ester hydrolase, a sufficient amount of organophosphorus hydrolase and a sufficient amount of a organophosphorus acid anhydrolase, may be utilized to test for organophosphorus compound-containing chemical warfare agents. These enzymes will react with such chemical warfare agents to produce degradation products, specifically phosphonate esters.
