A MRSA detection kit (SA, MRSA and VRSA capture by magnetic bead-peptide in blood -> DNA isolation -> qPCR, within 2 hrs) and antibiotic susceptibility test using standard methods

• Technology Highlights :

• Detecting bacteria in blood is challenging because their concentration is extremely low (1–10 CFU/ml). • Our technology enables rapid capture and amplification of Staphylococcus aureus, a major antibiotic-resistant pathogen, within a short time frame. • Captured or amplified bacteria can be identified by qPCR and tested for antibiotic susceptibility using standard methods. • The technology has been successfully validated at the laboratory level; clinical trials and commercialization are the next steps.
