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.
