ViroStat: Detection of Gram Positive bacteria with monoclonal antibodies<\/h1>\/ in E-News<\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/header>\n<\/div><\/section>
\n

There are medical conditions where rapid detection of Gram Positive bacteria is critical. An example of this is sepsis where time is of the essence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Most Gram Positive bacteria possess a cell wall polymer of lipoteichoic acid (LTA). LTA can be shed from growing bacteria and is also present on the intact bacterium itself.<\/p>\n

ViroStat has just released a new set of monoclonal antibodies to LTA. These antibody pairs can be used to detect both free LTA as well as cell wall LTA of intact bacteria.<\/p>\n

These new antibodies detect the LTA of many Gram Positive bacteria including: Staph aureus, Staph epidermidis, Strep pneumoniae, Strep pyogenes, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis and Listeria species.<\/p>\n

These new antibody pairs represent powerful tools for assay development for bacterial detection.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
