METHOD OF PATHOGENIC STAPHYLOCOCCI DETECTION BY PLASMA COAGULATING ACTIVITY Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C12Q1/14 C12R1/44 

FIELD: biotechnologies.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be applied in laboratory microbiological diagnostics of infection diseases. The method involves introduction of 12-hour staphylococci culture into plasma diluted by isotonic sodium chloride solution. The microbe suspension obtained is incubated at the temperature of 37°C for 5 hours. Electric impedance of the microbe suspension is registered through 3^rd to 5^th hour of incubation. And if the solution impedance reaches 64-84 kOhm, it allows making conclusion of staphylococci pathogenicity due to its plasma coagulating activity.

EFFECT: reduced analysis time and improved analysis accuracy.
