  • Patent number: 10683558
    Abstract: A process for detecting Haemophilus influenzae nucleic acid in a sample includes producing an amplification product by amplifying a Haemophilus influenzae nucleotide sequence and measuring the amplification product to detect Haemophilus influenzae in the sample. Some embodiments allow direct serotype determination in a single step assay. Also provided are reagents and methods for detecting and distinguishing Haemophilus influenzae from other infectious agents. A kit is provided for detecting and quantifying Haemophilus influenzae in a sample.
    Type: Grant
