    (2021-08-31) Drezek, Rebekah A.; Baraniuk, Richard G.; Aghazadeh, Amirali; Sheikh, Mona; Lin, Adam Y.; Chen, Allen L.; Bugga, Pallavi; Rice University; United States Patent and Trademark Office
    The present disclosure is directed to compositions and methods present a universal microbial diagnostic (UMD) platform to screen for microbial organisms in a sample using a small number of random DNA probes that are agnostic to the target DNA sequences. The UMD platform can be used to direct and monitor appropriate treatments, thus minimizing the risk of antibiotic resistance, and enhancing patient care.
