Escherichia coli Isolate for Research and Diagnostic Development
This technology includes an Escherichia coli isolate to be used in for research purposes and the development of diagnostics. The isolate is unique because it has the mcr-1 gene.
Candida auris Isolate (B11903) for Diagnostic and Therapeutic Development
This technology includes an isolate of the yeast species Candida auris to be used in the development of diagnostic tools or anti-fungal for therapeutic use.
Yellow Fever Virus, Zika Virus, and Powassan Virus Isolates for Research, Diagnostic and Vaccine Development
This technology includes natural Yellow Fever Virus, Zika Virus, and Powassan Virus isolates for various uses in research and development of diagnostics and immunizations.
Escherichia coli Isolate with MCR-1 Gene for Diagnostic Test Development
This technology includes Escherichia coli isolate with MCR-1 gene which can be used in the development of diagnostic tests. The MCR-1 gene makes bacteria resistant to the antibiotic colistin, which is used as a last-resort drug to treat patients with multi-drug-resistant infections, including carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). This gene exists on a plasmid, a small piece of DNA that is capable of moving from one bacterium to another, spreading antibiotic resistance among bacterial species.
