Antigen, Encoding Gene, Related Monoclonal Antibody and Hybridoma Clones for Streptococcus pneumoniae Serological Diagnostics
This CDC developed invention pertains to Streptococcus pneumoniae protein "pneumococcal fimbrial protein A (PfpA)," as well as the encoding pfpA gene. S. pneumoniae linked pneumococcal disease is prevalent among the very young, the elderly and also immunocompromised individuals. This invention covers the breadth of directly PfpA-related technology...

Real-time PCR Assay for Detection of Pneumococcal DNA and Diagnosis of Pneumococcal Disease
CDC scientists have developed a real-time PCR assay for diagnosing pneumococcal disease using amplification of the bacterial gene encoding pneumococcal surface adhesin A (PsaA). Pneumococcal isolation and identification is often complicated by 1) antimicrobial suppression of growth in culture and 2) contamination by normal flora alpha-streptococci....
