The patent application (Publication Number: US20240027445A1) describes a method for detecting a microorganism of interest by isolating the microorganism from a sample, lysing it to release ribosomes, and detecting these ribosomes or their constituents. The method involves binding the microorganism to a binding agent, such as an antibody specific to the microorganism, and using primary and secondary antibodies for ribosome detection. Additionally, the patent covers a method specifically for detecting a bacterium of interest by infecting it with bacteriophages, lysing the infected bacterium to release progeny bacteriophages, and detecting these progeny bacteriophages or their constituents.
Furthermore, the patent application includes kits for detecting microorganisms of interest, comprising components for isolating the microorganism, lysing it to release ribosomes, and detecting these ribosomes or their constituents. Another kit is designed for detecting microorganisms by infecting them with infectious agents, lysing the infected microorganisms to release progeny infectious agents, and detecting these progeny agents or their constituents. These methods and kits provide a comprehensive approach to detecting specific microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, or yeast, by leveraging ribosome detection and bacteriophage infection techniques.
