Method for diagnosing endocarditis of staphylococcal etiology

DESCRIPTION:

The previously proposed methods for diagnosing staphylococcal endocarditis are not reliable enough due to the relatively low sensitivity and specificity. With the help of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, specific antibodies to teichoic acid Staphylococcus aureus Wood 46 were identified. The diagnostic method provides express diagnostics of staphylococcal endocarditis.

CHARACTERISTICS:

The method is developed on the basis of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using teichoic acid Staphylococcus aureus Wood 46 as an antigen to detect specific antibodies in the blood serum of patients with staphylococcal endocarditis.

ADVANTAGES:

The method in comparison with analogues:

    • requires much less time;
    • is technically simple;
    • is characterized by high sensitivity and specificity.

PURPOSE:

The development is intended for correct and reliably correct diagnosis of endocarditis of staphylococcal etiology.

AREA:

Medicine and immunology.

RESULTS:

Provides consistent results.

READINESS:

Ready for implementation.

TRANSFER:

Sale of licenses. Collaborative industrialization.

NOVELTY:

1 patent of Ukraine.
