Utility
Medium for the specific detection of resistant microorganisms
2 Dec 19
A method for distinguishing among a first group of microorganisms belonging to a first taxon of Gram negative bacteria, the first group of bacteria exhibiting a mechanism of resistance to a treatment; a second group of microorganisms belonging to a second taxon of Gram negative bacteria, the second taxon of bacteria being different than said first taxon, and exhibiting a mechanism of resistance to a treatment identical to the mechanism of the first group; and a third group of Gram negative bacteria that is not resistant to the treatment.

Utility
System for analysing a transparent sample with control of position, and associated method
11 Nov 19
A system for analyzing a transparent particle including: an analysis pathway, including a first light source emitting an analysis light beam, and a first optical system focusing the analysis light beam in a focusing plane; and a position control pathway including a second light source, an image sensor, and a second optical system at least partially merged with the first optical system.

Utility
Prediction of the risk of developing a disseminated infection for patients admitted to an intensive care unit
4 Nov 19
A method for predicting the risk of developing a disseminated infection in a patient admitted to intensive care having no clinical symptoms of such infection includes: determining a first dose of gelsolin G1 in a biological sample from the patient originating from a first sample taken at time T1, carried out between the day of intensive care admission and 48 hours afterward; determining a second dose of gelsolin G2 in a biological sample from the patient originating from a second sample taken at time T2, carried out two to three days after the first sampling; calculating the variation between the dose of gelsolin G2 and the dose of gelsolin G1, giving a Δ value; and comparing the Δ value to a threshold value S determined beforehand from two patient populations admitted to intensive care, one not having developed a disseminated infection and the other having developed such an infection.

Utility
Method and system for detection and/or characterization of a biological particle in a sample
7 Oct 19
The present invention provides a method and system for monitoring, detecting, and/or characterizing a biological particle that may be present in a sample whereby the method may be accomplished non-invasively by utilizing a time-dependent spectroscopic technique to obtain at least two measurements of a growth composition comprising a sample and correlating said measurements for the detection and/or characterization of a biological particle, that may be present in the sample.
