Abstract

Assays, arrays, and methods for distinguishing a bacterial infection from a viral infection are disclosed. The antibiotic crisis is in part driven by over prescription of antibiotics. There is a tendency, particular in pediatrics, to give an antibiotic even for viral infections. Thus, embodiments herein are directed to the problem of distinguishing a bacterial infection from a viral infection to reduce unnecessary antibiotic usage.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An array comprising at least two peptides that are capable of differentially binding to one or more antibodies produced in response to a bacterial infection or to one or more antibodies produced in response to a viral infection.
