  • RATIOMETRIC PRE-rRNA ANALYSIS
    Publication number: 20150315632
    Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for detecting the presence of viable cells in a sample. Included are compositions and methods for increasing the sensitivity of a nucleic acid amplification test for determining the presence of at least one target microorganism in a sample. Also disclosed are compositions and methods for detecting ribosomal RNA precursors (pre-rRNA) as dynamic indicators of viable microorganisms in a sample.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 15, 2015
    Publication date: November 5, 2015
    Applicants: University of Washington, Seattle Biomedical Research Institute
    Inventors: Gerard A. Cangelosi, John Scott Meschke, Kris Weigel
