Multiple-valent opsonophagocytic assay selection panel arrays and uses therefor

This application discloses a multivalent opsonophagocytosis assay that does not rely on counting of bacterial colonies to determine bacteria viability following opsonophagocytosis. Instead, the method uses a metabolic colorimetric indicator to determine if viable bacteria are present. Also disclosed...

More Information
Summary:This application discloses a multivalent opsonophagocytosis assay that does not rely on counting of bacterial colonies to determine bacteria viability following opsonophagocytosis. Instead, the method uses a metabolic colorimetric indicator to determine if viable bacteria are present. Also disclosed are arrays that can be used to determine the viability of bacteria following opsonophagocytosis.
