Abstract: The present invention provides a method for purifying bacterial minicells that involves subjecting a sample containing minicells to density gradient centrifugation in a biologically compatible medium. The method optionally includes a preliminary differential centrifugation step and one or more filtration steps. The invention also provides a method for purifying bacterial minicells in which a sample containing minicells is subjected to a condition that induces parent bacterial cells to adopt a filamentous form, followed by filtration of the sample to separate minicells from parent bacterial cells. The inventive methods optionally include one or more steps to remove endotoxin from purified minicell preparations, and/or treatment of purified minicell preparations with an antibiotic. Additionally, the invention provides purified minicell preparations, prepared according to the foregoing methods, and containing fewer than about 1 contaminating parent bacterial cell per 10 7, 10 8, 9, 10 10, or 10 11 minicells.

Abstract: An anti-tip lock assembly for a storage compartment includes a pair of geared actuators mounted on a base abutting against a follower. The follower and the base are configured to travel a limited distance along a vertical track installed in a storage unit. When the compartment is closed, the actuators are aligned with the track. When the compartment is opened, the actuators are moved out of alignment to block access to the moving components of the assembly. When the anti-tip lock assembly is operational, the array of like anti-tip assemblies in the track allow displacement of only one pair of actuators to occupy the limited distance at one time. A security bar array interacts with the actuators and other assemblies in the storage unit, to prevent simultaneous opening of two or more compartments. The security bar is provided with the track to lock and unlock the assembly.

Abstract: A process for detecting the presence or absence of gram-positive bacteria in a biological sample. The biological sample can be obtained from any mammal and contains, at a minimum, cellular components. The sample is combined with an enzymatic lysing agent such as achromopeptidase, and lysed at room temperature. Ferric oxide is then added to the sample containing achromopeptidase. A magnetic field is applied to the sample and nucleic acids are extracted from the cellular components. Target nucleic acids, if present, are amplified using techniques such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and then used to detect the presence or absence of gram-positive bacteria. Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae are examples of target bacteria detected by the methods of the present invention.
