  • Systems and methods for diagnosis and monitoring of bacteria-related conditions
    Patent number: 8663927
    Abstract: The presently-disclosed subject matter provides systems, methods, and kits for diagnosing and/or monitoring a bacteria-related condition of interest in a subject by providing a cell sensing system, each system containing a reporter molecule capable of detecting binding of a quorum sensing molecule and capable of generating a detectable signal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 10, 2008
    Date of Patent: March 4, 2014
    Assignee: University of Kentucky Research Foundation
    Inventors: Sylvia Daunert, Sapna K. Deo, Patrizia Pasini, Anjali Kumari Struss, Harohalli Shashidhar, Deborah R. Auer Flomenhoft, Nilesh Raut
  • Spores for the stabilization and on-site application of bacterial whole-cell biosensing systems
    Patent number: 8389263
    Abstract: The presently-disclosed subject matter is directed to biosensors comprising spore-forming bacterial cells and/or spores generated therefrom, a recognition unit within each spore-forming cell for binding an analyte of interest, and a reporter molecule within each spore-forming cell for detecting binding of the analyte of interest, wherein the reporter molecule generates a detectable signal upon binding of the analyte by the recognition element. The presently-disclosed subject matter further provides methods of using the biosensors and systems and kits including the biosensors.
