  • Methods and materials for reducing biofilms
    Patent number: 8802414
    Abstract: This document provides methods and materials related to reducing biofilms. For example, enzymes (e.g., glycosyl hydrolases), nucleic acid molecules encoding enzymes, host cells containing nucleic acid encoding enzymes, and methods for using enzymes to reduce biofilms and infections associated with biofilms are provided.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 12, 2014
    Assignee: Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research
    Inventors: Kristi L. Frank, Robin Patel
  • Detection of
    Patent number: 8507201
    Abstract: The invention provides methods to detect Bordetella pertussis and/or Bordetella parapertussis in a biological sample. Primers and probes for the differential detection of B. pertussis and B. parapertussis are provided by the invention. Articles of manufacture containing such primers and probes for detecting B. pertussis and/or B. parapertussis are further provided by the invention.

  • Microbial biofilm removal methods and systems
    Patent number: 8076117
    Abstract: Methods, kits, and systems for removing microbial biofilms from surfaces of objects (such as, e.g., explanted medical devices) are disclosed. The methods, kits, and systems rely on the use of acoustic energy in the presence of microbubbles to enhance biofilm removal while retaining viability of the microorganisms in the biofilm. The microbubbles may be provided in a variety of manners such as, e.g., vortexing a liquid, obtaining a suspension that includes pre-formed protein-stabilized microbubbles, etc.
