| Technology Name (St. Jude Reference #) |
Diagnostic Assay for Antibiotic Tolerance (SJ-01-0022) |
| Description | Methods for identifying antibiotic tolerant bacteria and subjects infected with such bacteria, are provided. Once identified, alternative treatments can be used to inhibit such infections. The methods are based on the identification of allelic variations in the bacterial vex2, pep27 and vncS genes associated with antibiotic tolerance, especially to penicillin and vancomycin. Test kits and components useful for performing such methods, particularly including custom oligonucleotide primers, are also provided. |
| Related Reagents | Primers for identifying allelic variations are available |
| Keywords | Antibiotic tolerance, vex2, pep27, vncS, penicillin, vancomycin |
| Granted Patents or Published Applications | U.S. Patent No. 6,623,931 |
