Detection and Differentiation of Pathogenic Fungi in Clinical Samples Using a Multi-Analyte Profiling System

This invention provides a rapid, sensitive and specific diagnostic tool for the detection of pathogenic fungi and subsequent species-specific discrimination. CDC scientists have developed nucleic acid probes to identify the six most medically important Candida species and endemic mycoses, and to differentiate them from other medically important fungi...

Nucleic Acid Detection of the Fungal Pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum from Clinical and Environmental Samples

This invention relates to detecting Histoplasma capsulatum by PCR using oligonucleotide probes specific for the fungus. Histoplasmosis is a mycotic infection of varying severity, usually localized in the lungs. Caused by H. capsulatum, infections are usually symptomatic but can develop into chronic disease, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Test...

Novel Targets to Prevent Borrelia burgdorferi Infection and Lyme Disease

B. burgdorferi-infected ticks can cause Lyme disease in mammalian hosts. This technology relates to the use of B. burgdorferi outer surface proteins (BBA64 and BBA66) as Lyme disease vaccine candidates. In vivo animal studies demonstrate these outer surface proteins inhibit tick-to-host B. burgdorferi transmission. Presently, there is no vaccine approved...

Method of Enhancing Opsonophagocytosis

This invention aims to bolster the human body's own mechanisms to fight infection by enhancing an innate immune response, opsonophagocytosis. The specific 24 amino acid sequence (P4) acts as a polymorphonuclear cell activator. P4 can be administered in vivo along with a disease's specific antibody to enhance systemic bacterial clearance, thus leading...
