  • Biomarkers of infection
    Patent number: 8076099
    Abstract: The instant invention concerns Francisella bacteria mediated degradation of alkaline phosphatase (AP). Detection of AP degradation may be used to determine the presence of Francisella bacteria in a sample. Furthermore, methods for identifying and treating Francisella infections by detecting AP degradation are described. Methods of the invention also concerns methods for treating Francisella infection by inhibiting AP degradation.
