Assays for the detection of Enterovirus D68
Researchers at TGen have developed assays for the detection of Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) in complex patient samples. Both PCR and amplicon sequencing assays rapidly diagnose patients with EV-D68 respiratory illness, and can be used to assess a patient’s risk of acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) and potentially diagnose AFM. The assays can additionally...

Allelic discrimination assays for important Klebsiella pneumoniae strains
Researchers at TGen and Northern Arizona University have identified robust genomic signatures unique to certain particularly virulent strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and have designed molecular assays to detect K. pneumoniae and distinguish those strains. Both assays show 100% sensitivity and specificity,...
