  • Detection of bacteria using bacteriophage
    Patent number: 11629370
    Abstract: A method of detecting a species, strain or type of bacteria includes mixing a labeled bacteriophage including a label that is detectible via a detection system with a bacterial culture including the species, strain or type of bacteria to which the labeled bacteriophage selectively binds and using the detection system to detect the labeled bacteriophage bound to the species, strain or type of bacteria.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 16, 2021
    Date of Patent: April 18, 2023
    Assignees: University of Pittsburgh—Of the Commonwealth System of Higher Education, Duquesne University of the Holy Spirit

  • Detection of bacteria using bacteriophage
    Patent number: 10961557
    Abstract: A system for identifying at least one species, strain or type of bacteria in a sample including at least one a labeled bacteriophage which binds selectively to the species, strain or type of bacteria, the at least one labeled bacteriophage comprising a label attached thereto, the system further comprising a detection system adapted to detect the labeled bacteriophage bound to the species of bacteria.
