    摘要: The present invention relates to a composition for diagnosing the susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus to antibiotics, and a use thereof. Particularly, it has been ascertained that sosA is a marker specific to Staphylococcus aureus, and that the expression level of sosA is exhibited similarly to antibiotic susceptibility/resistance properties so as to be usable as a means for diagnosing the susceptibility/resistance of Staphylococcus aureus to antibiotics, and the present invention diagnoses the susceptibility/resistance of Staphylococcus aureus present in samples to antibiotics by using antibodies specifically binding to protein SosA, and thus provides, as a means for diagnosing the susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus to antibiotics, a composition containing an agent for measuring the mRNA expression level of the sosA gene or an agent for measuring the expression level of the SosA protein.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for labeling specifically living microorganisms in a sample comprising microorganisms, the method comprising the steps of: a) incubating said microorganisms of said sample with at least one modified monosaccharide compound comprising a first reactive chemical group capable to chemically react with a second reactive group, so that a residue bearing said first reactive group is incorporated into such microorganisms, and b) contacting said residue incorporated in the microorganisms, with a labeling molecule comprising a said second reactive group, for generating the chemical reaction of said first reactive group of said residue incorporated within said living microorganisms with said second reactive group of said labeling molecule, resulting in a covalent link, characterized in that the said modified monosaccharide compound has the following formula (I′), or a salt thereof: —X can be O, NH or S, preferably O and NH, and —R1 and R2 can be independently H, OH, NH2, OH and NH2 being substituted or not by protecting groups thereof, preferably substituted by alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, acyl, formyl or imidoyl groups, and —R3 is H or an alkyl chain in C1 to C4, each carbon being substituted or not substituted by OH or NH2 substituted or not by protecting groups thereof, preferably by alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, acyl, formyl or imidoyl groups, and—at least one of X, R1, R2 and R3 groups, preferably R3, being substituted by a said first reactive group Ra.

    摘要: This invention provides a method for easily collecting antigens possessed by microorganisms without the use of special equipment. The method for collecting microbial antigens comprises: allowing a specimen containing microorganisms to pass through a filter membrane with a pore diameter that does not allow microorganisms to pass therethrough; capturing the microorganisms in the specimen on the filter membrane; applying a microbial destruction reagent capable of microbial membrane destruction to the filter membrane comprising the microorganisms captured thereon to destruct the captured microorganisms on the filter membrane; and collecting antigens in the filtrate.
