Determination Of Antimicrobial Susceptibilities On Infected Urines Without Isolation

US Patent:
4132599, Jan 2, 1979
Filed:
Apr 23, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/680015
Inventors:
James C. Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Fletcher
Grace L. Picciolo - Tantallon MD
Emmett W. Chappelle - Baltimore MD
Jody W. Deming - Annapolis MD
Christian G. Shrock - Eding MN
Hillar Vellend - Toronto, CA
Michael J. Barza - Boston MA
Louis Weinstein - Newtonville MA
International Classification:
C12K 100
US Classification:
1951035K
Abstract:
Method for the quick determination of the susceptibilities of various unidentified bacteria contained in an aqueous physiological fluid sample, particularly urine, to one or more antibiotics. A bacterial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) assay is carried out after the elimination of non-bacterial ATP to determine whether an infection exists. If an infection does exist, a portion of the sample is further processed, including subjecting parts of the portion to one or more antibiotics. Growth of the bacteria in the parts are determined, again by an ATP assay, to determine whether the unidentified bacteria in the sample are susceptible to the antibiotic or antibiotics under test.

Application Of Luciferase Assay For Atp To Antimicrobial Drug Susceptibility

US Patent:
4014745, Mar 29, 1977
Filed:
Apr 30, 1975
Appl. No.:
5/572991
Inventors:
James C. Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Fletcher
Emmett W. Chappelle - Baltimore MD
Grace L. Picciolo - Tantallon MD
Hillar Vellend - Newton Upper Falls MA
Stephanie A. Tuttle - Watertown MA
Michael J. Barza - Boston MA
Louis Weinstein - Newtonville MA
International Classification:
C12K 104
US Classification:
1951035K
Abstract:
The susceptibility of bacteria, particularly those derived from body fluids, to antimicrobial agents is determined in terms of an ATP index measured by culturing a bacterium in a growth medium, assaying the amount of ATP in a sample of the cultured bacterium by measuring the amount of luminescent light emitted when the bacterial ATP is reacted with a luciferase-luciferin mixture, subjecting the sample of the cultured bacterium to an antibiotic agent and assaying the amount of bacterial adenosine triphosphate after treatment with the antibiotic by measuring the luminescent light resulting from the reaction, whereby the ATP index is determined from the values obtained from the assay procedures.
